LET'S STRIKE A DEAL
October 18, 2001 -- Credit Suisse First Boston's interest in striking a deal with regulators regarding the probe into the Wall Street firm's allocations of shares of hot initial public offerings has heated up, according to a source familiar with the matter.CSFB's new legal team, under the direction of newly appointed Chief Executive John Mack, are pressing ahead with negotiations with the Securities and Exchange Commission to put an end to the highly publicized investigation that has tarnished CSFB and other Wall Street firms since tech stocks plunged.
CSFB's renewed initiatives with regulators began this summer when Mack tapped former SEC watchdog Gary Lynch and charged him as point man to bring a resolution to the IPO mess.
However, sources at CSFB added that talks between the firm and the SEC have been ongoing.
A complaint has not been filed by the SEC, and sources say that a possible settlement may still be a long way off.
To be sure, CSFB's Mack would welcome the chance to get out from under the probe, which has hovered over the firm like a black cloud for more than a year.
CSFB and other top investment banks, including Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, are being investigated by government agencies for possibly mishandling the way they doled out shares of IPOs during the technology boom. At issue is whether the firms received kickbacks in exchange for giving clients shares in high-tech IPOs.
Meanwhile, sources close to the investigation said the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have hindered the investigation process because the SEC's New York headquarters was based in the now destroyed 7 World Trade Center.
SEC officials declined to comment. A CSFB spokesperson did not return calls for comment
