NEW YORK (AP) — A not guilty plea has been entered on behalf of a large hedge fund charged in a criminal indictment with letting insider trading occur over a 10-year period.
The plea was entered Friday morning in Manhattan federal court by Peter Nussbaum, longtime general counsel for SAC Capital Advisors. It happened a day after the company was charged with wire and securities fraud.
A prosecutor says the evidence is "voluminous."
Stamford, Conn.-based SAC said in a statement after the charges were announced that it will continue normal operations.
