On March 5, Reza Saleh pleaded guilty to one count of insider trading. On March 7, a judge issued a civil disgorgement order against him. The government may not have won either victory without the efforts of Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement lawyer Kathleen Galloway of Fort Worth.

Galloway, who filed and litigated the civil case against Saleh, was the first government lawyer to identify the stock trading that ultimately led to the criminal conviction and the civil disgorgement order.
