SEC Obtains Final Consent Judgment Against Connecticut Resident Charged with Insider Trading in Multiple Securities

On January 29, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut entered a final judgment by consent against Connecticut resident Ryan Squillante in the SEC’s civil enforcement action against him.

According to the SEC’s complaint, filed on September 5, 2025, Squillante used confidential information that he obtained in the course of his employment at an investment firm to trade in the securities of at least ten different publicly-traded companies, earning approximately $216,965 in illegal trading profits.

The final judgment permanently enjoins Squillante from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and orders him liable for disgorgement in the amount of $216,965 and prejudgment interest in the amount of $33,800, which are deemed satisfied by the criminal fine imposed against Squillante in the judgment entered against him in the parallel criminal case, United States v. Squillante, Crim. No. 3:25-cr-106 (D. Conn.).

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Sarah McAteer, Kathleen Shields, and Michele T. Perillo of the SEC’s Boston Regional Office and Patrick McCluskey of the Market Abuse Unit. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
