US wraps up Galleon case

Raj Rajaratnam set out "to conquer the stock market at the expense of the law", prosecutors told jurors at the hedge fund manager's insider trading trial.

Presenting concluding arguments in the government's case, US Attorney Reed Brodsky said the Galleon founder was at the centre of a network of friends and corporate insiders who passed on secret share tips. The defence was due to make its closing submissions last night.
