A hedge fund manager charged last April with securities fraud is now in the sights of US Attorney, Preet Bharara of Manhattan. According to Bloomberg News, Chip Skowron, formerly with FrontPoint Partners, LLC, violated securities laws by obtaining inside information that prevented his hedge fund from losing millions of dollars. Preet, who is leading similar investigations across the country, has successfully prosecuted 44 out of 49 cases. Since the initial charge in April, prosecutors have sought several extensions from the court to purse a final disposition of the case. Chip Skowron’s attorney’s are in active discussions with the prosecutors.

I am so glad to see that they are investigating this. They did the investors wrong and need to be prosecuted with this. I hope to see it happen. Accounts Receivable
