Explanation:
According to the Basel II operational risk event type classifications, losses due to improper business or market practices—which explicitly include market manipulation, antitrust activities, and insider trading on the firm’s account—are classified under the "Clients, Products, and Business Practices" (CPBP) category.
Note that insider trading on an employee's own account would fall under "Internal Fraud", but because the trading was done on the firm's account, it is considered an improper business practice.
