Settlement With Analysts Could Fuel Litigation
The California Department of Corporations expects a new wave of securities litigation now that regulators have reached a historic settlement with investment banks over analyst conflicts of interest.

It's a shocking story -- a former prosecutor alleges he and a now-deceased judge conspired to keep Jews off the jury in a capital punishment case. Yet the protagonist has been largely MIA. But not for much longer. John Quatman is expected to resurface next week in a California courtroom -- along with portions of his personnel file that current prosecutors hope will throw his credibility into doubt.
