A 43-year-old financial analyst pleaded guilty Wednesday to securities fraud and faces up to 18 months in federal prison for an insider trading scheme that netted him about $143,000.
Jason Napodano, a former managing director at Chicago-based Zacks Small Cap Research, admitted to using confidential information he obtained while preparing equity research reports about companies to purchase and sell stock in those companies.
