Insider trading is called a "victimless crime" here (by its perpetrator, who may be biased in his assessment). In reality, there are victims: the people who trade away stock they owned before it rises in price or buy it not knowing it will sink are victims as are the people who do not make trades because they do not have the same information the criminals have. These people lose money due to the criminals' actions.
