A manager at a one-time $8 billion hedge fund has been reportedly found guilty of securities fraud
Thomson Reuters
Stefan Lumiere was found guilty of inflating bond prices in Visium Asset Management's credit fund, Bloomberg reported.
Here's Bloomberg:
"Prosecutors said Lumiere solicited sham quotes from brokers to justify inflated valuations on distressed-debt holdings. Jurors rejected his claim that he thought the prices he was assigning were legitimate and done at the behest of his boss, who pleaded guilty and testified against him."
A lawyer for Lumiere and a spokesman for Visium didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Lumiere is the ex-brother in law of Visium's founder, Jake Gottlieb, a physician who founded the firm, which became known for investing in healthcare stocks.
A star fund manager overseeing the firm's healthcare fund committed suicide last year days after he was accused of insider trading. Gottlieb hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing.
