7月10日，轰动一时的“台开”非法股票交易案宣告侦结起诉，包括陈水扁女婿赵建铭及其家人在内，共有13人名列被告。台北地方检察署以涉嫌“内线交易”的罪名起诉扁婿赵建铭，要求判处其有期徒刑8年。
Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian's son-in-law was indicted Monday on charges of insider trading. Prosecutors are seeking an eight-year jail term for Chao Chien-ming, a doctor at the prestigious Taiwan University Hospital, local television stations said.
报道中的“insider trading”就是让扁婿栽跟头的"“内线交易”。Insider常用来指“了解内幕的人”，源于形容词“inside”(内线的，潜伏作奸细的)，如：inside facts/story(内幕，内情);inside man(内线)。
另外，词组on the inside 可用来指“知情”或“核心成员”，如：
I'm not that much on the inside.(我并不深知内情。)
He gave his men the feeling of being really and truly on the inside.(他让手下人感到他们确实是心腹。)
