(Bloomberg) Strike $6 million from the total that Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara extracted from hedge funds and executives caught in his seven-year insider-trading dragnet.
U.S. prosecutors have agreed to return that amount to Diamondback Capital Management LLC in a deal approved by a federal judge on Thursday. The hedge fund paid the $6 million to the government as part of a 2012 non-prosecution agreement related to Bharara’s insider-trading probe. The fund, which at its peak managed $5.8 billion, closed later that year.
