Senate Sides With Aguirre, Against SEC in Review of Pequot Investigation
Senate Sides With Aguirre, Against SEC in Review of Pequot Investigation
And they ain't happy. Back in July the Senate began looking into the SEC's insider trading investigation of hedge fund, Pequot Capital after complaints from former SEC investigator, Gary Aguirre,
Aguirre alleged that he was discouraged by agency higher ups from pursing information from John Mack, Morgan Stanley grand poo-bah and good buddy to Pequot founder, Arthur Samburg. Aguirre was eventually fired by the SEC and turned whistleblower, telling his tale loud and long for anyone who would listen.
The Senate listened and after extensive hearings, they've filed a report highly critical of the SEC. The NYT has a summary.
