SEC charges ex-CEO in Tracinda-linked insider-trading scheme
WASHINGTON |
WASHINGTON Nov 28 (Reuters) - U.S. securities regulators on Wednesday charged the former chief executive of Delta Petroleum Corp with leaking confidential information to his friend about an impending large investment in the company by a well-known private firm.
The Securities and Exchange Commission said that former Delta CEO Roger Parker is the central source of an insider-trading scheme that occurred before the Beverly Hills-based private investment firm Tracinda Corp had agreed to purchase a 35 percent stake in Delta Petroleum.
The SEC had previously charged Parker's friend, insurance executive Michael Van Gilder, for trading based on the tips he received from Parker.
