NEW YORK (AP) — A former Goldman Sachs director accused of feeding confidential information to a corrupt hedge fund manager has been convicted of conspiracy and three counts of securities fraud.
A jury acquitted Rajat Gupta on two other securities fraud counts. Gupta’s adult daughters hugged and wept as the verdict was read. He showed no visible reaction.
On February 9, Raguruban Yogarajah intentionally backed up his car in bumper to bumper traffic to hit the car behind him to initiate a scam. However little did Yogarajah knew that the car had a dash camcorder and recorded Raguruban’s car reverse lights go on, the car reverse and hit its front bumper.
The charges against Mr. Gupta will show that Gupta was the insider a member of financial establishment. If the charges are proven, it would be the worst kind of corporate betrayal for Goldman Sachs.
Mr. Gupta was named as Mr. Rajaratnam’s co-conspirator , unlike Mr. Rajaratnam and other insider traders, Mr. Gupta has been caught on tape discussing the alleged wrongdoing add the fact that he bought into a Galleon fund.
Raj Rajaratnam, a self-made hedge fund tycoon convicted in the biggest Wall Street insider trading scandal in a generation, was ordered to serve 11 years in prison, the longest sentence ever in an insider-trading case but far less than prosecutors sought.
The judge also fined him $10 million and ordered him to forfeit $53.8 million, which approximated the illegal profits and avoided losses from the trading scheme.
Wall Street likes you to think that all the trading they do is legal and that there is no “Insider Trading”, however many people who have worked on Wall Street and investment firms clearly know that insider trading happens all the time.
The SEC (Security Exchange Commission) let’s it happen and they turn a blind eye to their buddy’s at large investment firms. The only time when they step in and start charging people is during a big economic downturn and they need a scape goat to make it look like that the SEC is actually doing their job.
