Sihpol Earned 'Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars' for Late Trading

Latest testimony in Theodore Sihpol III's trial has revealed his motive for assisting in late trading: cold, hard cash. The former Bank of America broker received commissions for the trades well into the six-figures, Bloomberg reports.

"It was a lot of money," said Andrea Wenner, testifying on behalf of the prosecution. "Hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Wenner's testimony was the first to outline a financial incentive for Sihpol's actions in helping Canary Capital Partners conduct mutual fund trades past 4 p.m., in violation of Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
