Ex-Galleon Trader Settles With SEC

September 16, 2010

David Slaine, agreed to pay over $836,000 in disgorgement of illegal profits to settle SEC charges he traded on insider information.  The former Galleon Group LLC employee had pleaded guilty to criminal insider-trading charges in December.  Slaine already has forfeited over $532,000 in the criminal case - a sum that will go toward satisfying his payment in the SEC matter.

The SEC accused Slaine of using tips from Mitchel Guttenberg, a UBS AG institutional client manager - Guttenberg was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison in 2008 for helping 2 hedge fund traders make more than $15mn by leaking news to them about changes to the firm’s analyst ratings. The case is SEC v. Slaine, 1:10-cv-00754, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).   [Bloomberb, 9/16].
