"Your honor, on behalf of Zvi Goffer, we'll rest."

That was Bill Barzee today in the big insider trading case in the SDNY immediately after the government rested. From Reuters:

A former Galleon Group hedge fund trader did not put on a defense at his insider trading trial, and the judge said the jury will hear closing arguments in the case on Wednesday.

A defense attorney for 34-year-old Zvi Goffer, who once worked at Raj Rajaratnam's Galleon Group and two other trading firms, told the Manhattan federal court judge on Tuesday he would not present evidence or call witnesses to defend his client.

The trial is in its third week. It started days after a jury in the same courthouse convicted Rajaratnam of 14 counts of conspiracy and securities fraud in the biggest Wall Street insider trading trial in years.


Go Heat and Go Bill Barzee!

Hey Rumpy, stop worrying about the Heat and go back to your new pretrial diversion practice.
