Settlement Reached in Grand Central Post-It Notes Insider Trading Case

A Brooklyn man has entered into a cooperation agreement to help the SEC mount evidence in an insider trading scheme in which illegal tips were passed via napkins or post-it notes at Grand Central Terminal in New York.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission last year charged a law firm clerk and a stockbroker with insider trading in a scheme that used a mutual friend to pass material, nonpublic information from the law firm’s computer systems about clients’ pending corporate transactions. That middleman was later identified as Frank Tamayo in a complaint filed in federal court in New Jersey, the SEC said July 13.
