Three SAC Executives Are Said to Receive U.S. Subpoenas

Submitted by webadmin on

Three senior executives at Steven Cohen’s SAC Capital Advisors LP received subpoenas as part of the U.S. multi-year probe into insider trading at the hedge fund, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. Subpoenas were sent to Tom Conheeney, president of SAC; Steve Kessler, head of compliance; and Phillipp Villhauer, head trader. Cohen, SAC’s billionaire founder, was sent a subpoena last week to appear before a federal grand jury. After Cohen was summoned, SAC Capital told clients in a May 17 letter that it was no longer cooperating unconditionally with the government and it would no longer be updating clients on the matter.
