1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,519 Speaker 1: It's not often that you have a defense attorney saying 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: his client's actions were like that of a used car salesman. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: But that's part of the defense being used for former 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: bond trader Jesse Litfac In his second securities fraud trial. 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: Litvac is accused of lying to customers about the prices 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: of mortgage backed securities. He was found guilty in twenty fourteen, 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: but an appeals court throughout his conviction, saying the judge 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: should have let expert witnesses testify. Federal prosecutors have cracked 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: down on traders over mortgage bond pricing, bringing at least 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: seven criminal fraud cases in the past three years. A 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: conviction of former Jefferies and Company managing director Litfac will 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: support those other cases. Our guests of Professor James Cox 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: of Duke Law School and David Bissinger, a partner at 14 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: Bissinger Ashman and Williams Jim. In this opaque world of 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: bond trading, the defense is arguing that Litvac was dealing 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: with professionals who conduct their own research and know the 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: value of the bonds they buy and sell. Does proof 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: of that get him to an acquittal? No, It doesn't think, 19 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: you know, the government never has to approve in these 20 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: cases that somebody actually relied upon a false statement. So 21 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: that's a part of the defense that was raised, and 22 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: I think the Second Circuit did a disservice to the 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: law quite frankly by thinking that that was a relevant part. 24 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: Now it does go to the question about materiality, but 25 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: materiality doesn't even determine to a tend upon whether the 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: lie was consequential of the fact is of material and 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: people go to prison for telling material lies. U by 28 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: simply making a statement where the investor says, let me 29 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: think about that, Oh, it doesn't change my mind, it 30 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: can still. All it requires is that the investor pause 31 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: over the information. So clearly, just to wrap up here, Clearly, 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: statements that you were getting the bonds at a fair price, 33 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: but in fact they weren't. They marked up substantially, UH 34 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: would have been something that least investor would have implaused about, 35 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: and more likely the investor would say, wait a minute, 36 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: if you disclose this fact to me that you had 37 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: marked it up ten percent, then I'm not willing to 38 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: pay that ten percent extra price. And it would have 39 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: had a consequence. But the consequence is not part of 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: the government's cases. It shouldn't be either. The second made 41 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: a mistake. Okay, well, given that perhaps they made a mistake, 42 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: at least in Jim's opinion, David, what are we going 43 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: to here now at the trial from these expert witnesses 44 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: that fact is going to call the There's two witnesses. 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: There's a business school UH professor and bond analyst named 46 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: Ram Wilner, and then a regulatory and compliance attorney named 47 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: Mark Menchel, and both of them are going to testify 48 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: in substance that UH lit Vac's misstatements or allegement statements, 49 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: although at this point it's probably fair to say they 50 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: are misstatements because we've already had the first trial in 51 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: which he lost that, but that those misstatements are widely 52 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: considered in the industry as quote biased, close quote and 53 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: open quote often misleading close quote. To June's point at 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: the beginning of the broadcast, that you're gonna have UM 55 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: the used car defense, and that the UH people dealing 56 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: with Litvac, whether they were buying from or selling to 57 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Litvak UH knew that lit back statements that UH he 58 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: was only going to be able to do certain things 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: and his his limit, his his pricing and stuff was 60 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: limited limited because of the other side of the trade. Uh, 61 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: those those states that that testimony will come in and 62 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: it I think it will be of some use for 63 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: lit back in at least showing the jury that Litvac 64 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: was not doing something outside of what happens in the 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: typical bond trading room. The jury may well think, well, 66 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: that's the problem for the whole bond trading room. But 67 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: it was an important issue for Litvac in the first 68 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: trial because the prosecutors argued really in effect that Litvak 69 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: was at the epicenter of the fraud. I believe in 70 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: the phrase they used in their rebuttal Jim and about 71 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: thirty seconds that we have here, Securities Industry and Financial 72 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: Markets Association's affirm that broker dealers aren't required to disclose 73 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: the prices they pay for bonds. Will that affect the jury? 74 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's going to have an influence on the jury. 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: But I think what the also will be disclosed there 76 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: is that there are guidelines even for by Fenrop about 77 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: how much of a markup you can have. So the 78 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: idea would be, maybe don't have to disclose it. But 79 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: the question is what your is your behavior within kind 80 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: of the rules of the road of the industry, And 81 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 1: this gets into question about where the whole industry is corrupt. 82 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: The Fenderous position would be, no, Jim, why is this 83 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: case important enough for prosecutors to be pursuing it for 84 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: a second time? You know? The problem of markets, particularly 85 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: in the bond market, of UH, you know, is an 86 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: ongoing problem. I don't I don't think it's pervasive in 87 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: the sense that and we don't know whether it's true 88 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: or false, but it's hard to believe that it's It's 89 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: across the market, every traders marketing it up the same 90 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: way lit Back was doing. UH. But it's important to 91 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: send the signal out to the market that this is 92 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: a market that um important to America, is important to 93 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: the world, and and and and that needs to be 94 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: a fair market. So I think that that in and 95 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: of itself justifies being delivered here and UH with a 96 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: lot of certitude going forward. The second thing is that 97 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: the reasoning of the second circuit it's just crazy, quite frankly, 98 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: and perhaps there's an opportunity here by showing that the 99 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: defense didn't really work, which is what we have to 100 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: wait and see what happens in the second trial. Well 101 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: will new to that that that court's opinions, this is 102 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: just one of several opinions handed down by the Second 103 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: Circuit that I think we're very questionable. We saw the 104 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: Supreme Court pretty much reversing part of that inside of 105 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: trading case US against Newhaman this term, uh, it's it's 106 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: it's not the paragon of wisdom that the Second Circuit 107 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: used to be. So I think that that's that's important 108 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: as well. And third, once you mentioned earlier June, and 109 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: that is you have other prosecutions that could worse where 110 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: there was a settlement that could be unwound, should look 111 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: back be successful, David, the you know, Jim's alluded to 112 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: the reasoning of the court, and when you read the 113 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: court's opinion, the Second Circuit's opinion, it's sort of one 114 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: of them. That's sort of interesting about is it almost 115 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: seems to say that the reason it's okay to make 116 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: misstatements to these buyers is that they are so sophisticated 117 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: they wouldn't really rely on this information. So is the 118 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: Second Circuit really think we expect to hear the trial 119 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: that it depends on who's buying whether or not you 120 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: can lie to them. Well, I would say that the 121 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: Second circuits first opinion, first opinion did not go quite 122 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: that far because that that original opinion, and in December 123 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: UH said the rejected Litbax argument that misstatements were somehow 124 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: immaterialism a matter of law. In other words, the Second 125 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: Circuit said that should go to the jury. So I 126 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: don't think that the Second Circuit was totally off its rocker. 127 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: I think the thing that happened in the trial court, 128 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: and this is me coming at this case as a 129 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: trial lawyer, is that the way the district court, the 130 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: trial court prevented Mr lit Back from putting on this 131 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: expert testimony, the so called everybody does it expert testimony, 132 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: And then the government in the closing argument and the rebuttal, 133 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: when Mr Litvack did not have the opportunity to speak anymore, 134 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: the government stood up and said, essentially Mr lit Back 135 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: was at the middle of this, nobody else, that Jeffreys 136 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: did this, and and this was you know, Mr Litvack 137 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: essentially acting alone. And the testimony, of course from these 138 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: experts is no, that isn't the case. UH. And so 139 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: I think just as a practical matter, looking at the 140 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: way the case was tried, I think that's as big 141 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: of a problem uh for the government, or was this 142 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: big of a problem for the government as it was 143 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: saying the second circuit being completely off on policy grounds, 144 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: And I think that, um, you know, one of the 145 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: one of the points about this case that is so 146 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: sensitive to the government is this is part money. Uh 147 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: so the government is well with it. It's right, I 148 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: think to at least want to pursue the you know, 149 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: expenditure of part money, especially in an atmosphere in which 150 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: securities commissions and trading costs continue to go down. I 151 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: mean today's news as you prepare for this article, you 152 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: see continuing pressure on commissions and so forth. So why 153 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: should traders be able to get these big fat markups? 154 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: And Mr Liffack is gonna face the serious problem because 155 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: these witnesses that the government is calling from, say places 156 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: like Alliance Burnstey not necessarily. I mean, these are sophisticated 157 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: people are gonna say, we discovered what Mr Liffack was doing, 158 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: we stopped doing business with them, and uh with Mr 159 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: Liftack because of that. Uh And and this is not 160 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: the way it ought to be done. So I think 161 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: that Mr Liftack has an uphill uh, definitely an up 162 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: hill road to climb here. Still, but the second circuits, 163 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: reasoning on the expert witness issued again from from the 164 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: trial overs perspective, I think uh was was worthy of 165 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: a reversal. Jim, did this case cause banks to reevaluate 166 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: their policies, um, and to go away from the idea 167 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: of negotiating tactics considered like puffery? Well, my, my, myjest. 168 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: The banks probably aren't taken in by puffery because puffery 169 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: is sort of general statements. It's hard to think that 170 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: when somebody is actually manipulating the price that we'd ever 171 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: concealed that um probably boxed it up as puffery. I 172 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: do think, I do think that the cases that were 173 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: brought in the in the pervasiveness of serious markups should 174 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: cause the banks that want to take a look at 175 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: what the fairness of the market is. And you know, 176 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: we we didn't talk about earlier, but the possibility that 177 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: maybe the banks actually expressed interest and continuing prosecutions for 178 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: these cases because they're the victims of these cases. Um 179 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: uh and so um, you know, we don't know, but 180 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: I think the notoriety that surrounds the lift back case 181 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: prosecution and and and the other cases around with it 182 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: certainly shine a light on conduct that should have aroused 183 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: the the self preservation instincts of the banks. David. One 184 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: of the one of the questions that sort of comes 185 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: up as you read through all this and think about 186 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: how the trial's gonna go is whether or not how 187 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: particular this this decision is, that is, as a particular 188 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: to the bond market, or is this going to how 189 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: could this conceivably of wider implications depending on how on 190 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: how lid Fect does at the trial. Well, I think 191 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: the focus of this really is the bond market in 192 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: the sense that security markets are so transparent. I mean, 193 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: there's so much public pricing and putting aside questions about 194 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: high frequency trading and so forth. Uh the spread on 195 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: your typical equity trade is, you know, usually within pennies. 196 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: But the bond mark it is this case exemplified. Uh 197 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: the spread in a say a sixty dollar bond, seveny 198 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: dollar bond could be as much as a dollar dollar fifty, 199 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: sometimes even more. And uh So the bond market historically 200 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: has been much more opaque. Yet it's a much bigger 201 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: part of the securities market. So the amount of money 202 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: made by bond traders is you know, really really substantial. 203 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: And again, in this atmosphere of compressed trading, continually compressed 204 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: trading costs. I think the episode, I think the target 205 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: here will be the bond market. But that's a big target. 206 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: Jim about a minute ago. So in a retrial, lit 207 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: Vac knows what the government is going to present against him. 208 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: This time, he is also able to introduce expert witnesses. 209 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: Is it still an uphill battle for him? I think 210 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: I think it is. I mean, you know, I get 211 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: before a jury not among the favorite species in America 212 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: these days. Uh you know, did not we were not candid. 213 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: I think the used car analogy evaporates. You know, it's 214 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: one thing for the persons they belonged to a little 215 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: od ladies school teacher, okay, your little man school teacher. 216 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: It's another thing to set the odometer back. This is 217 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: setting the odometer back. I don't think people are gonna 218 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: like that. So I think I think he's got an 219 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: uphill battle. Uh um, yeah, So it'll be interesting to see. 220 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: I wondered when I saw that as well, whether you 221 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: want to tell a jury that someone's like a used 222 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: car salesman.
