Bear Stearns agrees to pay $38.5M

Article Abstract:

Bear Stearns has agreed to pay $38.5 million to settle a lawsuit that accused the company of helping a small brokerage in defrauding investors. The suit claimed that the firm was aware of stock-manipulation schemes that were perpetrated by brokerage A.R. Baron between 1995 and 1996. Bear Stearns was then providing stock-clearing services to Baron. The deception reportedly had resulted in a total loss of about $75 million for investors.
