The Billionaire Who Outmaneuvered the Law
In the summer of 2008, FBI Special Agent B.J. Kang sat in a nondescript surveillance van, listening to a wiretapped call that would eventually unravel one of Wall Street's most notorious insider trading networks. The conversation revealed advance knowledge of Akamai Technologies' disappointing earnings-information that would net billionaire Raj Rajaratnam over $5 million in illicit profits. But this was just the beginning. As investigators pulled on this thread, they discovered a much bigger target: SAC Capital Advisors and its enigmatic founder Steven Cohen, whose uncanny ability to be "always on the right side" of trades had long raised suspicions on Wall Street. Cohen's hedge fund operated with a ruthless efficiency that generated billions in profits but left a trail of ethical questions in its wake-questions that would eventually lead to the largest insider trading investigation in American history.
