The Federal Bureau of Investigation has unsealed an indictment in which a former Goldman Sachs and Blackstone analyst is being accused of using Xbox 360 chat, among other mediums, to pass insider trading tips to friends.
Two men, Anthony Viggiano and Stephen Forlano Jr., are listed as the defendants in the indictment. Viggiano allegedly sent tips to Forlano and another individual, Christopher Salamone, about non-public strategic partnerships and acquisitions his employers would be making. Viggiano worked at Blackstone and Goldman Sachs during the time he allegedly sent the tips. According to the indictment, Viggiano engaged in the activity eight times from 2021 to 2023. The total that was seemingly acquired using means that are in violation of U.S. law was “approximately $300,000.”
