  Scott A. Meyers, the chairman of the litigation practice group at Levenfeld Pearlstein LLC in Chicago and a veteran securities attorney, said that while the verdict was an important victory for prosecutors, there is reason for the government to temper its enthusiasm.
  
  "Although the government will undoubtedly claim that this verdict vindicates its options backdating campaign, this case was actually much closer than it should have been under the circumstances," Meyers said.
  
  "The government usually tries its best case first, the one with very ominous and largely undisputed facts, in the hope of obtaining an early victory which it can then leverage into settlements with other defendants in similar cases," he added.
  
  Although the government had the "smoking gun" evidence of fraud - including an e-mail from Reyes that said backdating was "not illegal if you don't get caught" - the defense was able to make an easy case difficult, according to Meyers.
  
  That may cause the government "some concern about its ability to win the closer cases going forward," he said.

  Scott Meyers, head of the Litigation Practice Group, was quoted in The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg Television on the indictment and arrest of two former Bear Sterns fund managers
  
  Scott Meyers, head of the Litigation Practice Group at Levenfeld Pearlstein, was quoted in a front page article in The Wall Street Journal, appeared live on Bloomberg Television and National Public Radio, regarding the indictment and arrest of two former Bear Sterns fund managers.
  
  The indictments, which cite multiple counts of securities-fraud, wire-fraud and mail-fraud related to fund woes which costs investors roughly $1.6 billion, are expected to cite personal emails between the fund managers suggesting that the funds were in serious trouble.
  
  The emails were sent just days before the managers made comments to investors that there was little to worry about with the funds.Scott was quoted by the journal as saying that prosecutors generally bring their strongest cases first, and as such, he expects that the cases against the fund managers will appear very strong on paper.
  
  Scott's appearance on Bloomberg was actually concurrent with the press conference announcing the arrest of the fund managers.He was asked throughout the press conference to analyze and interpret the commentary from law enforcement officials.In general, his comments to Bloomberg were that today's developments reflect a broad effort by the government to reinvigorate investor confidence in the credit markets.

  Scott Meyers, chairman of the litigation practice group at law firm Levenfeld Pearlstein, which represents hedge funds, says the SEC's new unit will be busy looking to make "a big splash, to put ink in the paper."He expects to see more SEC investigations over the next year, both formal and informal, particularly since there hasn't been a major insider-trading scandal yet involving hedge funds.
  
  If this is a political move on the SEC's behalf, it's a shrewd one, he notes.To be firmly against this action would be to cast oneself as favoring insider trading, he says.Indeed, Meyers says that whenever the SEC can publicly talk about insider trading, it automatically garners attention."As long as [the agency] can attach insider trading to their concerns, they'll get the attention," he says.

  "There has always been a perception on the part of the SEC that hedge funds are some sort of black box... and that [they] need more scrutiny," Meyers says.
