45 times and still not out

Posted on

FT.com / Companies / Financial Services - Pequot referred to SEC 45 times in four years.

Stock exchange monitors referred Pequot Capital Management [a hedge fund - ed] to the Securities and Exchange Commission for possible securities violations, including insider trading, at least 45 times between 2005 and this year, the commission has revealed in a letter to the US Congress.

The US is notoriously the home of 'three times and you're out' justice for the poorest in the community - who can get life for shoplifting as a result.

But not if you're a hedge fund which has picked up 45 complaints in 4 years, apparently.

Why not?
