Abstract

“Greed and corruption. That’s what this case is about.” So intoned lead prosecutor Jonathan R. Streeter in his opening remarks to the jury in the largest insider trading case ever brought by the government, US v. Rajaratnam. Two months later, in May 2011, the conviction of the Galleon hedge funds manager on all 14 counts crowned Streeter’s 11-year career as a prosecutor in the US Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York. In successive positions in the Major Crimes Unit, as Assistant US Attorney on the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, and as Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division, Streeter prosecuted 17 federal jury trials to verdict, losing only one. He secured convictions in complex white-collar criminal cases against lawyer Marc Dreier for swindling hedge funds, and trial victories against the CEO and CFO of Duane Reade for accounting fraud and against Ernst & Young partner James Gansman for insider trading. In 2010, Streeter received the Attorney General’s John Marshall Award for Asset Forfeiture. Having put in his quota of 100-hour weeks as a federal prosecutor, he crossed over to white-collar criminal defense at Dechert LLP in 2012. Prior to joining the US Attorney’s Office, he was an associate at Arnold & Porter in Washington DC representing Philip Morris during the mass tort litigation of the ’90s. Streeter earned his AB cum laude from Colgate University and his JD cum laude from Northwestern University School of Law.
