The SEC said May 15 that final settlements have been approved in the "golden goose" insider trading case in which a former Lehman Brothers trader passed along inside info from his PR executive wife, who was not charged in the scheme.

Final judgments were entered May 14 against Jamil Bouchareb and Daniel Corbin, who received insider info passed along by Matt Devlin.

Devlin's wife, Nina, was an executive at Brunswick Group at the time, in 2008, handling mergers and other corporate announcements. The SEC alleged Devlin, who wore a wire and helped bring charges against the other two, gleaned insider info about 13 deals based on his wife's conversations and travel schedule.

Authorities said the participants in the scheme referred to an unknowing Nina Devlin as the "golden goose."

Under the terms of the deal, Bouchareb will pay about $1M and also received 30 months in jail following a guilty plea in the criminal case brought by the U.S. Attorney for the So. District of New York.

Corbin owes about $190K under the SEC deal and got a sentence of six months in prison and two years of supervised release. He also has to forfeit $1M.

Matt Devlin received three years probation in exchange for his cooperation and the SEC said this week that he has been barred from associating with industry pros like securities dealers or investment advisers or from offering any penny stock. He will pay a $10K fine and forfeit gains of $23K.

Charges against four other people in the scheme were finalized in 2011.

Nina Devlin, who moved to Edelman after Brunswick, is now VP of communications at Mylan Pharmaceuticals. In a letter filed in federal court last year, she urged the judge overseeing the criminal complaint against her husband to keep him out of prison to care for their young son. 

The SEC said Bouchareb and Corbin were the last remaining defendants in the case.
