A veteran of the Japanese gaming industry, Yuji Naka, was among the suspects in insider trading in shares of the developer studio Dragon Quest Tact. This is reported by FNN Prime Online.
According to the publication, while working at Square Enix, Naka bought about 10 thousand shares of the Aiming studio in the amount of $ 20 thousand dollars. It is assumed that he specifically purchased them before the official announcement of the game in the expectation that then the shares will rise in price.
Square Enix has not yet commented on the arrest of the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog. Earlier, she confirmed the detention of two other former employees.
