Hedge fund titan ready for his trial

Employing these tools, the investigation has reached into the upper echelons of corporate America and high finance... The government says Rajaratnam illegally traded in 35 different stocks. Nineteen traders in Rajaratnam’s orbit have already pleaded guilty to insider trading, and several of them are cooperating with the government and are expected to testify.''
