Wall Street scandal widens with four more implicated
New York AP reports four additional prominent Wall Street figures linked to the insider trading probe, as traders balance dismay with hope that tougher enforcement may restore market integrity. Martin Siegelo pleads guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion tied to Kidder Peabody era, while Richard Wigton, Timothy Tabor, and Robert Freeman face charges. Market insiders view the arrests as part of a broader crackdown following Ivan Boesky’s $100 million SEC settlement, with more shoes likely to drop.
