WASHINGTON AP – The butler neither admits nor denies that he did it. But he has agreed to pay $66,180 to settle charges that he illegally traded stock using confidential information on the acquisition plans of his former boss, businessman Robert F.X. Sillerman.

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the settlement Monday with the former butler, Graham J. Lefford. Under the accord, he is paying a $31,450 civil fine and $34,730 in restitution of trading profits plus interest.
