The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday said it was able to freeze assets connected to alleged insider trading of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) options that took place prior to the April 12 announcement that Chevron Corp. (CVX) intended to buy that company.

In its complaint, the SEC identified "suspicious transactions" that took place before the deal was announced. The unknown traders used bank accounts in Cyprus and the U.K. to purchase out-of-the-money call options on Anadarko.

The SEC said it froze about $2 million in profits related to these trades.
