A former SAC Capital, Jon Horvath, pleaded guilty to insider trading in September and has been cooperating with the investigations into SAC Capital and its affiliates.
Today’s settlement with SAC includes nearly $275 million in disgorgement, $52 million in interest payments, and another $275 million in penalties. The SEC’s acting director of enforcement said:
The historic monetary sanctions against CR Intrinsic and its affiliates are sharp warning that the SEC will hold hedge fund advisory firms and their funds accountable when employees break the law to benefit the firm.
Both settlements are subject to the approval of the federal district court.
