Volkswagen Engineers Charged in Rivian Insider Trading — Jul 24, 2026The U.S. Department of Justice has charged two Volkswagen engineers, Michael Stamp and Marcus Plank, with securities fraud for insider trading tied to Volkswagen and Rivian’s joint venture, alleging they profited over $300,000 by buying Rivian stock and options on information about the project codenamed “Project Climb” before public announcement. Investigations note that Stamp and Plank sought illicit advantage despite knowing it was illegal, with Stamp researching insider-trading statutes days before the deal and a relative of Plank inquiring about punishment, as prosecutors underscore that such actions undermine fair markets and investor trust amid Rivian’s 23% stock rise following the announcement and Volkswagen’s investment plans moving up to $5.8 billion.

The CNIE would set the asset threshold, impose mandatory pre-approval or mitigation measures, and, if no decision is reached within the statutory period, treat the filing as a denial, as Mexico seeks to curb security risks while continuing to attract investment amid US pressure and ongoing USMCA concerns.

The ruling, supported by immigrant rights groups and affecting applicants across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, rejects the administration’s public-charge rationale and emphasizes that consular officers cannot be bypassed by nationality-based bans; President Donald Trump’s policy is thus struck down.
