Martoma Was ‘Grain of Sand’ Compared With Cohen for FBI

Former University of Michigan neurologist Sidney Gilman said an FBI agent told him that he and accused inside-trader Mathew Martoma were only a “grain of sand” compared with the government’s real target, SAC Capital Advisors LP founder Steven A. Cohen.
Martoma is on trial in Manhattan federal court, charged with using confidential information about a clinical drug trial that he got from Gilman and another doctor to make SAC $276 million in illegal profit and losses avoided. He faces as long as 20 years in prison if convicted of securities fraud.
