Raj Rajaratnam: Denies Insider Trading Allegations, Says Trades Were Based On Analyst's Work

Attorneys for Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam denied a U.S. regulator's claims he engaged in insider trading, saying he based investments on analyst research and media reports and that government wiretaps were illegal.

Rajaratnam's filing in response to a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit, which came today in Manhattan federal court, includes a broad attack on the regulator's lawsuit. He will likely advance the same arguments in a pending criminal case against him.
