This isn't at all surprising, although the surprising thing is authorities actually doing something about it. If it ends with these people paying a fine, even if it's hundreds of millions of dollars, it means litle to nothing to them. Going to jail is rather different though.

Considering the incredibly amount and complexity of information (and knowledge required to interpret it) that is behind a single company's stock price, opportunities for manipulation are rife.
