>It wasn't theft.

The insider had no right to divulge that information. I don't care whether it's technically theft but it is definitely immoral, and should definitely be illegal.

If I'm busting my ass off in a startup I sure as heck don't want my buddy to sell or give away our trade secrets to the competition.

"sell or give away our trade secrets to the competition."

That's an entirely different question.
