Domain: government officials using knowledge of impending policies

Principle: If the knowledge is not available to the general public, and the knowledge is used to financially benefit oneself → unethical

The correct answer should involve a government official using knowledge of impending policies to financially benefit oneself, and that knowledge is not available to the general public.

It’s not clear that the government official who used to work for the company used any knowledge of impending policies to financially benefit himself.

This involves use of contacts with department officials. This isn’t use of knowledge of “impending policies.”

This involves using tax shelters alllowed by the new law. This doesn’t involve use of knowledge of impending policies.

The government official used knowledge of an impending plan to tax luxury cars. This knowledge wasn’t available to the public (”one of the few people who knew”) and it was used for the official’s financial benefit (”in order to avoid paying the tax”).

This involves an action taken after announcing something to the public. There’s no indication the official used knowledge of an impending policy that was not available to the public.
