Gupta, 64, has also been permanently barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company and from associating with any broker, dealer, or investment adviser, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced here Wednesday citing an order of a federal judge in New York. The top US regulator said it had previously obtained a record $92.8 million penalty against Galleon Group co-founder Rajaratnam, 56, for prior insider trading charges.
Gupta was found guilty on June 15, 2012, of divulging confidential information to Rajaratnam about Berkshire Hathaway's $5 billion investment in Goldman Sachs as well as nonpublic details about the bank's financial results for the second and fourth quarters of 2008. In October, Gupta was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay a $5 million criminal fine. He is free pending his appeal of the decision.
