Ex-Bear Stearns Fund Managers Indicted for Fraud

June 19 (Bloomberg) -- Former Bear Stearns Cos. hedge fund managers Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin were indicted for mail fraud and conspiracy in the first prosecution stemming from a federal investigation of last year's mortgage-market collapse.

ベアスタンズのファンドマネージャー2人が起訴されたようです。

``The e-mails tell a damning story of these managers' awareness of the dire state of the funds, even as they talked them up among investors,'' said Dan Richman, a former federal prosecutor and now a professor at Columbia Law School in New York. ``There is a lot of political pressure on the Justice Department to move forward in this area.''

ファンドがダメになっているのを知っていながら、投資家には調子良い様な説明をしていた,って事なんですな。法務省にはこの分野で実績をだすよう、つまり誰かをあげろってことでしょうが、政治的圧力がかかっていたとも。

Cioffi, now with Tenafly-based RCAM Capital LP, left Bear Stearns amid inquiries by prosecutors and the SEC into whether he withdrew $2 million from two funds before their collapse in July, three people with knowledge of the matter said at the time. He was relieved of his duties as a fund manager in June, when his funds' subprime investments began to unravel.

ファンドから、自分の持分2百万ドルは引き出してたりして・・・。

まだまだ他にも調査は続いているようでして、
ムショ送りになる人が沢山でそうです。
