Inside trader to Judge: Go easy




It wasn’t for the money — at least not a lot of it.  According to the NY Post former Diamondback Capital portfolio manager Todd Newman asked a judge for “leniency” yesterday when he is sentenced next month as part of a $72 million insider-trading conspiracy in computer-maker Dell and a software firm.

Newman, who faces up to 78 months in prison, claims he should receive a much lighter sentence because he pocketed only $442,761 on his trade — just 12 percent of the $4 million the government claims.
