Rogue sez he’s guilty




From the NY Post: David Miller, the rogue Rochdale Securities trader whose $1 billion unauthorized Apple trade led to the firm’s collapse, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and fraud yesterday.  Miller, 40, entered his guilty plea before US Magistrate Judge Donna Martinez in Hartford, Conn.

The bad bet saddled Rochdale with $5.2 million in losses, forcing it out of business.

Miller will also be barred from working in the securities industry as part of a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission…
