Barred Morgan Stanley banker joins firm that got his trading leaks

A former Morgan Stanley banker who was punished in the block-trading probe that rattled Wall Street joined one of the firms that was the recipient of confidential information he leaked. Pawan Passi was hired by Frank Fu’s CaaS Capital Management. A yearslong investigation into block trading that reverberated across the industry culminated in January after Morgan Stanley agreed to pay $249 million to the Justice Department and the SEC. Passi also agreed to a monetary fine and a one-year ban from the industry. He’s able to work at CaaS because three weeks ago the firm terminated its registration with the SEC.
