The stepbrother of a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. associate was sentenced to a year of probation for trading on inside tips taken from the investment bank and from Blackstone Inc.
Christopher Salamone avoided prison because of his cooperation with prosecutors, including secretly recording his stepbrother, Anthony Viggiano. Salamone, who was sentenced Tuesday by Judge Katherine Polk Failla in Manhattan federal court, also was ordered to forfeit $307,339.
