Victor Menezes to Pay $2.6 Million to Settle Insider Trading Probe
31 Jan: Bloomberg. Victor Menezes, Citigroup Inc.'s former head of emerging
markets, agreed to pay $2.6 million to settle a federal insider-trading
probe, his lawyer said. Menezes, 56, didn't admit or deny the claims as
part of the settlement. The investigation focused on Menezes's sale of
$29.8 million in Citigroup stock on March 28, 2002, 18 days before the
largest U.S. bank announced a $2.2 billion loss in Argentina. Menezes sold
597,000 Citigroup shares that day, an SEC filing showed. Menezes retired
from New York-based Citigroup a year ago. 205 words.

Pakistan Goans & Sports
31 Jan. The Statesman (Calcutta). Anthony De Mello, the godfather of
modern Indian cricket, founder secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket
in India, and later its president and originator of our national
championship, Ranji Trophy, hailed from Karachi. The Goan community from
Karachi have also produced a hockey Olympian for Pakistan, right half Jack
Britto, who represented the country at the Helsinki Games in 1952. However,
today, the extant Goans here are not so interested in sport, claims a local
scribe. Nobody wants to train hard. They would rather socialise and have
fun, claims Walter Fernandes, veteran reporter of Business Recorder.
