Goldman has already paid a $550 million fine over the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The district court is saying that his claim that there was no evidence backing a finding that he violated Section 17(a)(20) of the Securities Act by getting property or money via the alleged fraud can\u2019t be supported. The court noted that to prove liability this section of the Act does not make it necessary for the SEC to show that Tourre got a \u201cfraud bonus\u201d\u2014only that he got the property or money through omission or material statement. The court said Tourre could have given evidence to show that the compensation he received from Goldman would have been the same without such a transaction, but since he didn\u2019t put on a case during his trial the jury was free to infer otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>The court noted that there was sufficient evidence backing the jury\u2019s finding that the ex-Goldman Sachs trader\u2019s conduct abetted and aided violations of SEC regulations. Also, the court is rejecting Tourre\u2019s contention that he should get a new trial because he believes that the other court acted inappropriately when it took away from the jury the question of whether the swaps agreements involved were security based swap agreements within the meaning of securities law. This court said that for securities law purposes, the swap agreements were security-based swap agreements, and it granted summary judgment to the SEC on this.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investorlawyers.com\/blog\/exgoldman-sachs-trader-fabrice-1\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Ex-Goldman Sachs Trader Fabrice Tourre\u2019s Request for New Civil Trial in RMBS Fraud Case is Denied\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal district court in Manhattan has turned down former Goldman Sach\u2019s (GS) trader Fabrice Tourre\u2019s request that he get a new civil securities fraud trial after he was found liable on seven counts of federal securities law violations related to his involvement in the firm\u2019s sale of the Abacus 2007-AC1, which is a synthetic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3752,3947,3741],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-financial-firms","category-goldman-sachs","category-securities-fraud"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ex-Goldman Sachs Trader Fabrice Tourre\u2019s Request for New Civil Trial in RMBS Fraud Case is Denied &#8212;
