"This is a case about cheating," Assistant US Attorney James Hearty told jurors. "He sold $100 million worth of Qwest stock when he knew about problems at Qwest -- problems that people outside Qwest did not know."
Nacchio's case, Hearty said, "is based on a very simple principle -- fairness. Corporate insiders are in a position to take advantage of information people outside don't know."
Mr. Nacchio earned millions of dollars under predetermined stock-selling plans in the first half of 2001, in addition to other trades in the open market. Prosecutors alleged that Mr. Nacchio had inside information when he entered two of the plans.
Nacchio is currently in prison.
