In the first clear courtroom victory in several months for insider trading prosecutors, a federal jury on Tuesday found a New York lawyer guilty on 38 felony counts of giving tips about a pending secret corporate recapitalization to friends and relatives who made $1.5 million from the information. Immediately after the verdict was announced, U.S. District Judge Richard Owen ordered the defendant, Israel G. Grossman, to jail.
