Tannin's Alleged Crimes
Tannin, as portfolio manager of two funds founded by Cioffi, allegedly misrepresented the financial health of the funds and encouraged investors to pour more money into them, even as he knew that they were in danger of collapsing.WNBC: Cioffi, Tannin Indictment (June 18, 2008)Operation Malicious Mortgage
The federal government's crackdown on those alleged to have been involved in mortgage fraud resulted in charges filed against over 400 suspects. Though they represent Wall Street, rather than the mortgage industry, Cioffi and Tannin are alleged to have mislead investors about the subprime mortgage market.MSNBC: Video: Ex-Bear Stearns Execs Arrested (June 19, 2008)-
