'Flash crash' trader sentenced to time served plus a year of home confinement: lawyers

(Reuters) - A Chicago-based U.S. federal district court judge on Tuesday sentenced Navinder Sarao, a London-based trader accused of contributing to Wall Street's 2010 "flash crash", to time already served in jail of four months, with a year of home confinement, Sarao's attorneys said in a statement.

Sarao's attorneys at Dechert LLP said https://www.dechert.com/content/dechert/en/knowledge/news/2020/1/dechert-represents-london-based-trader-navinder-singh-sarao.html their client initially faced the possibility of more than 100 years of jail time for his role in the May 6, 2010, crash when the Dow Jones industrial average (DJI) briefly plunged over a 1,000 points, temporarily wiping out nearly $1 trillion in market value.

Sarao pleaded guilty in 2016 https://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/10/flash-crash-trader-pleads-guilty-to-spoofing-wire-fraud.html to wire fraud and “spoofing” for placing orders intended to affect prices — rather than trade — in the S&P 500 E-mini futures market.

U.S. District Court Judge Virginia Kendall on Tuesday sentenced Sarao to time served, his lawyers said. Sarao spent four months in a London prison in 2015 prior to being released on bail.

"(Sarao) is overjoyed to put this behind him, go home, and move on with his life," said Dechert partner Roger Burlingame.

Enrich the conversation, don’t trash it.
Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed.

Doxxing. We do not allow any sharing of private or personal contact or other information about any individual or organization. This will result in immediate suspension of the commentor and his or her account.
Don’t monopolize the conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also strongly believe in giving everyone a chance to air their point of view.
