Former McKinsey Senior Partner Anil Kumar Sentenced in New York for Illegal Insider Trading
NEW YORK – Anil Kumar, a former senior partner at McKinsey & Company, was sentenced on July 19 to two years of probation and ordered to forfeit $2,260,000 for his participation in an insider trading scheme in which he provided material, nonpublic information (inside information) stolen from McKinsey and its clients to Raj Rajaratnam, the head of Galleon Group, who then traded based, in part, on the inside information, announced U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara.
Kumar pleaded guilty in January 2010 to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and one count of securities fraud. He was sentenced today in Manhattan federal court by U.S. Circuit Judge Denny Chin.
According to the information, statements made during Kumar’s guilty plea proceeding, and Kumar’s testimony during the criminal trials of Rajaratnam and Rajat Gupta, the former Chairman of McKinsey and former member of the Board of Directors of Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble:
From 2004 through 2009, Kumar provided inside information relating to corporate transactions, revenue and other financial information of McKinsey’s clients to Rajaratnam in anticipation that Rajaratnam would trade based, in part, on that information. Upon receipt of the inside information from Kumar, Rajaratnam executed and caused others to execute securities trades. In return for the inside information, Rajaratnam paid Kumar nearly $2 million. By providing the inside information to Rajaratnam, Kumar violated his fiduciary and other duties of confidentiality to McKinsey and its clients.
