Whitman Capital LLC founder Doug Whitman is going on trial for using illicit tips from technology company insiders including one who was a neighbor, a woman at the center of the biggest stock-tipping probe in U.S. history.
Roomy Khan, a former Intel Corp. executive, is scheduled to be one of the government’s key witnesses at Whitman’s trial that starts July 30 in federal court in Manhattan. Khan twice pleaded guilty to passing inside information to Galleon Group LLC fund manager Raj Rajaratnam -- once in 2001 and again in 2009.
