Galleon, JPMorgan, Goldman, Fannie Mae, Freddie: Compliance

G. Robert Blakey, the law professor who helped draft the U.S. wiretap statute, may submit a brief supporting imprisoned hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam’s effort to overturn his conviction for insider trading, a U.S. appeals court ruled.

Blakey, who teaches at Notre Dame Law School in Indiana, supports a rehearing of the case against the Galleon Group LLC co-founder, whose conviction was upheld in June by the appeals court in New York. He was granted the right to submit written arguments yesterday.
