SEC charges ex-Goldman employee with insider trading


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Securities regulators on Wednesday charged a former Goldman Sachs employee and his father with insider trading on confidential information about Goldman's trading strategies regarding exchange-traded funds.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission said Spencer Mindlin, who worked on Goldman's ETF desk, and his father Alfred Mindlin made at least $57,000 in illicit profits through their insider trading.

    The SEC said the case marks the agency's first insider trading enforcement action involving ETFs.
