Answer:

Insider trader

Step-by-step explanation:

All of them, Dhani, Fay, Geoff and Hu, can be considered insider traders since they used private information (not disclosed to public investors) about the company's plans to earn money.

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Section 10(b) was enacted in order to prosecute this type of actions.
