- SALOMON'S FINE
-
- In a final chapter to one of Wall Street's many scandals,
- Wall Street power trader Salomon Brothers agreed to pay a $290
- million fine as a settlement to a suit filed by the Securities
- and Exchange Commission and other government agencies. The
- investment firm admitted last August it had submitted billions
- of dollars in phony bids for Treasury notes and bonds. But
- unlike the benighted houses of E.F. Hutton and Drexel Burnham
- Lambert, Salomon can take solace in the government's decision
- not to press criminal charges.
