Gene Plotkin: Insider Trader and...Aspiring Filmmaker?
Per yesterday's scandal du jour: we just noticed this posting on a Yahoo! Harvard recent grads board:
From: "Kristen"Date: Mon Apr 7, 2003 5:05 pm Subject: OFFICE SPACE NEEDED FOR INDIE FILM Cicero Productions, a film company founded by Harvard Alum Gene Plotkin, is currently shooting the independent film "One Way." We are in need of high-end office space to film some scenes that take
place is a high-end management firm. If you have any connections with such space, please email us at productionteam@... as soon as possible.Thanks for your help!
That would be Gene Plotkin, Harvard '00, who was, until yesterday, an associate in the fixed income research group at Goldman Sachs. (A "high-end management firm"?) We're also hearing that David Pajcin, who was also nailed for insider trading yesterday was a partner in the film company. Related post after the jump...

I knew Gene Plotkin a few years ago (back in 2002, pre-insider trading) and he seemed to be a very nice, genuine guy. It just goes to show you that you never know...

"seemed to be a very nice, genuine guy. It just goes to show you that you never know".
Seemed? You never know? The guy has been acused, not even tried yet and you immediately believe everything that government says? Just because somebody is arrested and a thousand of identical articles repeat portions of the prosecution complaint, doesn't mean that the poor fellow is a criminal.
