INSIDER TRADING UNDEFINED: 4/4:  Uneven Justice: The Plot to Sink Galleon, by Raj Rajaratnam https://www.amazon.com/Uneven-Justice-Plot-Sink-Galleon/dp/1637582811/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Raj Rajaratnam, the respected founder of the iconic hedge fund Galleon Group, which managed $7 billion and employed 180 people in its heyday, chose to go to trial rather than concede to a false narrative concocted by ambitious prosecutors looking for a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis. Naively, perhaps, Rajaratnam had expected to get a fair hearing in court. As an immigrant who had achieved tremendous success in his adopted country, he trusted the system. He had not anticipated prosecutorial overreach—inspired by political ambition—FBI fabrications, judicial compliance, and lies told under oath by cooperating witnesses. In the end, Rajaratnam was convicted and sentenced to eleven years in prison. He served seven and a half. Meanwhile, not a single senior bank executive responsible for the financial crisis was even charged. Uneven Justice is the story of his bewildering and confounding prosecution by forces who, quite frankly, were looking for bigger game. When Rajaratnam refused to support the narrative that would make that happen, he and the Galleon Group became collateral damage. A cautionary tale with implications for us all, Uneven Justice is both a riveting page-turner and an eye-opening lesson in the vagaries of justice when an unscrupulous prosecutor is calling the shots. 1918 WALL STREET

(***TIMESTAMPS in description below***) Raj Rajaratnam is an investor, author, and former hedge fund manager. He was the founder of the Galleon Group, a New York-based hedge fund. By 2009, Rajaratnam was the 236th richest American and managed $7 Billion at Galleon. However, on October 16th of that year, he was arrested by the FBI for insider trading, which also caused the Galleon Group to fold. In 2011, he stood trial in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and was found guilty on 14 counts of conspiracy and securities fraud. Raj received the longest insider trading sentence in American History (11 years) and was fined a criminal and civil penalty of over $150 million combined. He recently published a book called, “Uneven Justice,” where he tells his story and discusses the prosecutorial misconduct in his trial. He recently appeared on CNBC (with Andrew Ross Sorkin) and on Glenn Greenwald's Podcast to discuss the book. ***TIMESTAMPS*** 0:00 - Intro; Galleon's Morning Meetings; The Media falsely painted the Raj Rajaratnam as “The Financial Crisis Case”; Raj explains the Financial Crisis basics; Southern District of New York Prosecutor Preet Bharara's crusade against hedge funds; Raj net *lost* ~ $4 Million on the trades he was accused of (in his insider trading case); The Prosecutorial media blitz; Raj talks “greed” 23:20 - Raj recounts the day he was arrested in October 2009; Prosecutorial misconduct; The moment Raj went into “war mode”; Raj answered the FBI's questions for hours without a lawyer; Raj talks Preet Bharara and how his case made Preet the Sheriff of Wall Street; Raj wasn't the final target –– Steve Cohen was 45:48 - Raj explains why he is speaking out after all these years; What Rajat Gupta said to Raj in prison; The type of person who often becomes a prosecutor; The Bitcoin legislation an NYC Legislator cashed in on; Raj reacts to the Insider Trading in both Congress & the Senate in Washington DC 1:07:51 - The Ross Ulbricht Case (also prosecuted by Preet Bharara); Raj was the first White Collar Wiretaps Case; The Franks Hearing that should have suppressed the wiretaps; The government lied on the Title III Wiretaps application 1:29:18 - GOVERNMENT WITNESS 1: Roomy Khan; The meaning of the word “Edge”; Discussing the Showtime Wall Street Show, Billions; Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein's testimony at Raj's trial; RICO Law Creator & Title III Creator, G Robert Blakey's Amicus Brief on Raj's behalf 1:51:20 - Raj talks about why he respects Danielle Chiesi (DEFENDANT 1) and considers her “a gangster”; GOVERNMENT WITNESS 2: Ali Far; The EBay Trade story; GOVERNMENT WITNESS 3: Adam Smith; GOVERNMENT WITNESS 4: Rajiv Goel 2:19:33 - GOVERNMENT WITNESS 5 (The “Star” Witness): Anil Kumar; McKinsey, Payments, and Pecos Trading; The Manju Das Tax Shelter; The Preet Bharara India Diplomat Cavity Search Play 2:37:18 - DEFENDANT 2: Ex-McKinsey CEO / Goldman Sachs Board Member, Rajat Gupta; Kumar gave the opposite testimony in Raj's brother Rengan's Insider Trading Trial (he was found not guilty); Raj's funds with Gupta and Kumar; Raj tells the story behind the 2 Phone Calls w/ Gupta from the cases against them 3:01:45 - The rivalry between Gupta and Raj?; Why Raj loved what he did; The Preet Bharara Insider Trading Reform Task Force?; Why did Raj lose the mustache?

A hedge fund is a pooled investment fund that trades in relatively liquid assets and is able to make extensive use of more complex trading, portfolio-construction and risk management techniques in an attempt to improve performance, such as short selling, leverage, and derivatives.  Uneven Justice: The Plot to Sink Galleon, by Raj Rajaratnam  Hardcover – December 14, 2021  https://www.amazon.com/Uneven-Justice-Plot-Sink-Galleon/dp/1637582811/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Raj Rajaratnam, the respected founder of the iconic hedge fund Galleon Group, which managed $7 billion and employed 180 people in its heyday, chose to go to trial rather than concede to a false narrative concocted by ambitious prosecutors looking for a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis. Naively, perhaps, Rajaratnam had expected to get a fair hearing in court. As an immigrant who had achieved tremendous success in his adopted country, he trusted the system. He had not anticipated prosecutorial overreach—inspired by political ambition—FBI fabrications, judicial compliance, and lies told under oath by cooperating witnesses. In the end, Rajaratnam was convicted and sentenced to eleven years in prison. He served seven and a half.

The top five insider trading scandals. When people hear the term “insider trading,” they think of the crime. But insider trading is just the trading of a public company's securities by people with access to nonpublic or insider information about the company. There are rules around how insiders are allowed trade, forms they must fill out and so on, and these differ around the world.Insider trading becomes illegal when a person bases their trading decision on information that the public does not know. It is illegal to trade stock in a company based on insider information, and it is also illegal to pass on that information to another person so that they can trade. In such a situation the person passing on the information is breaking the law as is the person receiving it if they trade on the information.Today we look at the biggest insider trading scandals in recent history Today's video is brought to you by our sponsor ProFundCom.

Why is it that sometimes, good people do “bad” things?  This is a question that has been on my mind as late, and it's also one that tees up this week's episode.  Tom Hardin, AKA “Tipper X”  - the most important FBI informant in the largest insider trading case in decades - is my guest, and I am both grateful and delighted to have him on the show to share his story. Tom is a former Wall Street executive – he was a junior partner at a hedge fund that specialised in the tech industry.  Tom and his partners felt that they were falling short in a very competitive industry in which they also felt that some of their competitors were crossing an ethical line – that is, they were engaging in insider trading (which is of course illegal in the USA and most countries). As you'll hear from Tom, there came a moment when he decided to cross that same line. He made a few small, but illegal trades based on “Material Non Public Information” MNPI – that is, information that has not gone to the public and if used in a stock trade, can make the trader a lot of money.  In Tom's words, this was “taking some crumbs off the table.”  No one gets hurt. Until…. One day while picking up his dry cleaning, Tom received a tap on the shoulder.  It was the FBI. He was charged with a felony. As part of his arrangement with the authorities, he became “Tipper X” – the FBI's most cooperative witness in Operation Perfect Hedge – the largest insider trading investigation in 25 years.  Tom's efforts led to 80 guilty pleas and convictions – including and eventually, of Raj Rajaratnum of the Galleon Group, one of the largest hedge funds in the world at the time. Tom's story is a cautionary tale.  He wore a wire.  He had to inform on some of his friends and former colleagues.  His felony conviction meant he could not find employment in the career he chose, in spite of his education at the prestigious Wharton School. However, it is also a tale of resilience. Tom now does speaking and training for compliance departments of hedge funds, the FBI and for business and law schools.  He tapped into running and now runs ultra marathons. His story is also the subject of an upcoming documentary. I found myself enthralled in my conversation with Tom. A reason for this is that several years ago, I almost breached a similar ethical line. I was fortunate not to have – but I can't say it never would have happened. I think we all have the potential to inadvertently cause harm and do things we know we shouldn't.  Tom's tale should give us all pause to think about why and how we might not do the right thing – and how to avoid that.  Show notes: Tom's website: www.tipperx.com On Twitter: https://twitter.com/iamtipperx On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamtipperx On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-hardin-0952324 Article in the Wall Street Journal “'Tipper X' Hangs over Galleon” - http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703672104574654693200452698 Story on Tom's sentencing in the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/25/business/dealbook/onetime-mystery-informant-in-galleon-insider-trading-case-to-be-sentenced.html The Galleon Group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galleon_Group Tom on the Rich Roll Podcast: https://www.richroll.com/podcast/tipperx/ Dan Ariely: www.danariely.com Finding Ultra by Rich Roll Eat and Run by Scott Jurek  _________________ Did you like what you heard?

Roomy Khan was a successful Wall Street stock trader who had amassed a personal fortune betting on the market before the feds came knocking investigating her role in the biggest trading scandal in history. Her incredible story was recently featured on 60 Minutes. Now Roomy describes her downfall after her insider trading was exposed, what led her to cross over the line, and the life of a cooperating witness in the federal government’s prosecution which resulted in over 90 convictions. It would bring down billionaire Raj Rajaratnam, Galleon Group hedge fund, and Goldman Sachs board member Rajat Gupta who had traded on insider confidential information.   Links: www.roomy101.com My article on Medium: https://medium.com/@andrew.snyder.lmft/the-damnedest-things-some-parents-do-2b383794b853#.t6j0

Episode edited by the great J Scott Donnell Picture from hitc.com Bio From TurneyDuff.com The Buy Side, by former Galleon Group trader Turney Duff, portrays an after-hours Wall Street culture where drugs and sex are rampant and billions in trading commissions flow to those who dangle the most enticements. A remarkable writing debut, filled with indelible moments, The Buy Side shows as no book ever has the rewards – and dizzying temptations – of making a living on the Street. Growing up in the 1980’s Turney Duff was your average kid from Kennebunk, Maine, eager to expand his horizons. After trying – and failing – to land a job as a journalist, he secured a trainee position at Morgan Stanley and got his first feel for the pecking order that exists in the trading pits. Those on the “buy side,” the traders who make large bets on whether a stock will rise or fall, are the “alphas” and those on the “sell side,” the brokers who handle their business, are eager to please. How eager to please was brought home stunningly to Turney in 1999 when he arrived at the Galleon Group, a colossal hedge-fund management firm run by secretive founder Raj Rajaratnam. Finally in a position to trade on his own, Turney was encouraged to socialize with the sell side and siphon from his new broker friends as much information as possible. Soon he was not just vacuuming up valuable tips but also being lured into a variety of hedonistic pursuits. Naïve enough to believe he could keep up the lifestyle without paying a price, he managed to keep an eye on his buy-and-sell charts and, meanwhile, pondered the strange goings on at Galleon, where tens of millions were being made each week in sometimes mysterious ways. At his next positions, at Argus Partners and J.L. Berkowitz, Turney climbed to even higher heights – and, as it turned out, plummeted to even lower depths – as, by day, he solidified his reputation as one of the Street’s most powerful healthcare traders, and by night, he blazed a path through the city’s nightclubs, showing off his social genius and voraciously inhaling any drug that would fill the void he felt inside. A mesmerizingly immersive journey through Wall Street’s first millennial decade, and a poignant self-portrait by a young man who surely would have destroyed himself were it not for his decision to walk away from a seven-figure annual income, The Buy Side is one of the best coming-of-age-on-the-Street books ever written.
