Our panel discusses the role of ethics in business by examining Attorney General Brown's lawsuit against State Street Bank and Trust for alleged fraud against calpers and calstrs, and the Galleon Group hedge fund insider-trading scandal unfolding in Silicon Valley. Guests: Andrew Ross, Business Columnist, SF Chronicle, Stu Woo, Reporter, Wall Street Journal, Sally Baack, Professor, College of Business, SFSU.
Bernard Hickey details the key news overnight in 90 seconds at 9am in association with ASB, including news that China's GDP rose 8.9% in the September quarter from the same quarter a year ago, which was stronger than the 7.9% growth recorded in the June quarter. However, China plans to continue pumping in more monetary and fiscal stimuli, the FT.com reported. This is good news for Australia, which is our largest trading partner, and for demand for commodities. China is now using its US dollar cashpile to buy access to commodities and technology, including in New Zealand. Meanwhile, our Reserve Bank is expected to hold the OCR next Thursday, but will be under pressure to drop its promise to leave the OCR at 2.5% until late 2010 as the economy recovers strongly. Meanwhile overseas, the US Federal Reserve has announced sweeping pay cuts for bank bosses as US voters revolt over new bonuses, Bloomberg reported. Also, Sri Lankan born hedge fund manager Raja Rajaratnam is being sued by victims of Tamil Tigers who say he backed the Sri Lankan rebel group. Rajaratnam is also accused of insider trading and his Galleon hedge fund is now being liquidated, Bloomberg reported.

Raj Rajaratnam, a portfolio manager for Galleon Group, a hedge fund with up to $7 billion in assets under management, was accused of conspiring with others to use insider information to trade securities in several publicly traded companies, including Google Inc. US Magistrate Judge Douglas F. Eaton set bail at $100 million to be secured by $20 million in collateral despite a request by prosecutors to deny bail. He also ordered Rajaratnam, who has both US and Sri Lankan citizenship, to stay within 110 miles of New York City.

Raj Rajaratnam, Founder of $3 Billion Galleon Group Hedge Fund, Arrested. Prosecutors and the FBI have announced that they have filed charges against several people involved with the Galleon Group hedge fund, including founder Raj Rajaratnam. Galleon is a major hedge hund player known for its investment in technology stocks. Most notably, the government is filing criminal charges related to insider trading in a number of securities going back to 2006. So this is much more than a standard SEC civil charge.
