The gallery at the Raj Rajaratnam insider-trading trial attracts many of the same onlookers each day. None may be more interested in the outcome than a former Galleon Group LLC trader who today was sitting in the third row.
Zvi Goffer has been in attendance often during the proceeding, and for good reason: He is among five ex-traders who go on trial next month in their own insider-trading case. Four days ago, federal prosecutors in New York filed new charges against him and four co-defendants. All deny wrongdoing.
