AP – A former board member for Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble on trial on insider trading charges and two men and a woman already criminally convicted were on a list of 10 “important people” who could interrupt a billionaire hedge fund boss just before trading days ended, the trial’s first witness testified Tuesday.
The revelation of a notebook page containing the list was an early surprise in the 2-day-old trial of Rajat Gupta, a Harvard-educated executive who became a heavyweight in corporate America after a childhood in India that left him an orphaned teenager.
