...Rajaratnam, a billionaire co-founder of the Galleon Group, and five others were arrested and charged with earning $20 million off stock trades on the basis of information unavailable to the public. Rajaratnam, whose firm manages $3.7 billion, allegedly relied on a broad network of sources, including executives at IBM and McKinsey & Co., for lucrative tips; one leak about a Google earnings report yielded his firm $8 million in profits in 2007, authorities said.

In a third, Chiesi, upon sharing non-public details about an upcoming reorganization of the microchip maker AMD, tells an alleged co-conspirator: "You put me in jail if you talk ... I'm dead if this leaks. I really...
