Back in October, the U.S. Supreme Court denied [2] former Qwest CEO Joe Nacchio's petition for a review of his insider-trading conviction, and yesterday, without explanation, the court rejected Nacchio's request for reconsideration yet again. That's according to The Denver Post [3], which reports the court did not solicit additional filings from the government before acting. Former District Court Judge Edward Nottingham fined Nacchio $19 million and ordered him to forfeit $52 million for insider trading in 2007, sentencing him to a six-year prison term that began in April. Nacchio is to be re-sentenced, however, because the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals tossed out Nottingham's six-year sentence, the Denver Business Journal [4] points out, in a ruling that leaves intact convictions on 19 felony counts but finds the lower court overestimated the financial scale of Nacchio's crime.
