FBI Arrests Five on Charges Related to Insider Trading Scheme

By Amanda Harding on April 2, 2010, 10:41 am

On Wednesday, the FBI arrested Ahmad Haris Tajyar and Zachary Bryant for their involvement with insider trading violations. Tajyar is the owner and president of Investor Relations International Inc. Bryant worked at Lippert Heilshorn & Associates, a New York-based investor relations firm.

According to Reuters, Tajyar allegedly received tips from Bryant before announcements were released by Lippert’s clients, including Connetics Corp, Medivation Inc. and Halozyme Therapeutics Inc. Three other defendants were charged with illegally profiting from the trades based on this information.

The SEC filed a civil complaint against four of the five defendants in June of 2009.
