Michael Douglas, also known as "Wall Street"'s insider trader Gordon Gecko, is starring in a new anti-insider trading video for the FBI. The video, airing on CNBC and Bloomberg Television, is part of a broader government initiative aimed at drawing cooperating witnesses and tipsters from Wall Street.

Insider trading wasn't a front-and-center crime for the bureau for years, but now that it's in the spotlight, the agency's campaign is meant to help people who have seen something illegal report it.
