Man confirmed that an employee had been arrested, but said in a statement, “Man has been informed by the FSA that the investigation concerns the individual’s actions as a private individual and not as an employee of Man or GLG.

Man has also issued a press release<\/a> showing the results for the financial year ended 31 December 2012.<\/p>\n
