A Raw Deal
The Wall Street Journal - April 29, 2003
Frank Quattrone is in a curious pickle. The defrocked investment banker
from Credit Suisse First Boston now stands as the lone criminal defendant
in the government's widespread investigation of abuses in the IPO market.
He has been charged with "obstruction of justice." But he hasn't been
charged with any crime the investigation of which he allegedly obstructed,
and neither has anybody else.
