A lawyer for former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta,
who’s on trial for disclosing inside information, tried to persuade jurors that
leaks from the bank came from another firm exec Bloomberg reports.
With the government’s case winding down in Manhattan federal
court, prosecutors yesterday called Joseph Yanagisawa, who works in Goldman
Sachs’s technology unit, to testify about records of phone calls between
Gupta’s office and Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein’s office.
On cross-examination, defense lawyer David Frankel
confronted him with phone logs showing two dozen calls between phones
associated with David Loeb, Goldman Sachs’s head of Asia Equity Sales in New
York, and Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam. The logs showed calls from Loeb’s phones to
numbers associated with Rajaratnam and Galleon trader Adam Smith on dates when
Gupta is alleged to have tipped Rajaratnam, bolstering a defense claim that it
was Loeb or others who leaked data..
