2008 Wall Street banks are settling claims stemming from a nationwide investigation into allegations banks peddled 15 billion dollars worth of auction-rate securities as investments that were as liquid as cash. After the financial crisis began in 2007, investors were unable to sell the securities. UBS AG, Citigroup Inc. and three other Wall Street banks already agreed to repurchase almost $35 billion of auction-rate debt from individuals, charities and small businesses, accounting for about 17 percent of the estimated $200 billion left in the market. The first five banks, joined by Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wachovia Corp., will pay $360 million in fines.     Bloomberg
2007 An American banker, former employee of UBS, pled guilty of having helped rich US citizens to dissimulate up to 200 million dollars in Switzerland and in Liechtenstein.     Les Echos
2006 For cash rewards, some UBS traders have informed "hedge funds" managers of changes of opinion of the bank on some stocks before they are made public. The prosecutor of Manhattan and Securities and Exchange Commission sue 14 traders in a civil prosecution. The Justice Department sues 13 traders with a penal prosecution. More than 23 million dollars could have been gained unduly.     Les Echos
