Bloomberg – Rajat Gupta, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) director, can proceed with a lawsuit claiming the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission violated his rights when it filed an administrative action accusing him of passing illegal stock tips.
The SEC initiated the administrative proceeding in Washington on March 1, claiming Gupta passed information to Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam about Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble Co. (PG), where Gupta was also on the board.
