SEC Drops Galleon Fund Case

February 1, 2011

Mark Kurland, who founded now-defunct New Castle Funds, agreed to pay $4.4 million in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and penalties to settle SEC charges the funds allegedly took part in the Galleon Group insider-trading ring.  The SEC, in turn, dropped its claims against New Castle Funds, which wound down its business and no longer is operating as an investment adviser.  New Castle also agreed to cooperate with the SEC.

Danielle Chiesi, a former New Castle Funds consultant, pleaded guilty 1/19 to charges she passed inside information to Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam and others.   [Bloomberg, 2/1]
