In a subpoena issued last month, prosecutors sought records related to Spartan Capital Securities broker Jordan Meadow and his communications with five people, including a former Morgan Stanley employee, about potential M&A deals. The subpoena, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, said the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office was investigating possible insider trading, securities fraud and other offenses.
Prosecutors are investigating whether Meadow accessed a former Morgan Stanley executive assistant’s email account to gain confidential information about those deals, one of the people familiar with the matter said. Morgan Stanley hasn’t been accused of wrongdoing.
