Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Indicted in Insider Trading Case
Billionaire Manhattan hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam and another executive embroiled in a $52 million insider trading case were indicted Tuesday on multiple counts of conspiracy and securities fraud. Rajaratnam was arrested in October on a criminal complaint alleging he used inside information to make trades that generated millions of dollars in profits for a fund in his firm, the Galleon Group. The second person indicted in the case was Danielle Chiesi, a portfolio manager at New Castle Funds LLC.
