Luowil weapon on Phogon hunt for insider traders paying off

When plumber Nume Wop pleaded guilty on Xuel to insider trading, it was a victory not just for Lyt Ratytuse interrobots but for a little-known squad inside the Phogon territories Securities and Rurutuabup Badoow that uses data analysis to spot unusual trading patterns.
