Dead in Reported Suicide, Attorney Faced SEC Complaint Over Leak of Law Firm Data

Posted on Wednesday 28 October 2009

Attorney Gil I. Cornblum, who killed himself Monday in Canada, had leaked insider information while an associate at Sullivan & Cromwell and later as a partner at Dorsey & Whitney, according to a complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission late Tuesday. Cornblum sent former law school classmate Stanko J. Grmovsek non-public information on some 40 mergers and acquisitions that he learned about while on the job at both law firms. All told, the two men made $10 million on the scheme, according to the SEC.
