A Former Goldman Sachs Analyst Indicted for Insider Trading May Have Been Caught by Xbox 360 Chat.
an FBI indictment reveals that former Goldman Sachs investment analyst Anthony Viggiano may have used the voice chat feature on the Xbox 360 to illegally pass on stock tips to friends. The FBI claims that Viggiano used privileged information obtained through his job as a Goldman Sachs analyst to advise co-conspirator Christopher Salamone and others on which stocks to purchase and sell. According to the indictment, the scheme netted the group over $400,000 in illicit profits before eventually being uncovered thanks to the FBI’s investigation.
