An attorney serving a three-year sentence for his role in an insider-trading scheme has been disbarred. The Appellate Division, Second Department, has disbarred Jason Goldfarb for his role in relaying confidential information from two Ropes & Gray attorneys, Brien Santarlas and Arthur Cutillo, to Zvi Goffer.
Goldfarb, formerly of Brecher Fishman Pasternack Walsh Tilker & Ziegler, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and two counts of securities fraud in April 2011. Despite leniency pleas from nearly a dozen family, friends and clients, Southern District Judge Richard Sullivan (See Profile) sentenced Goldfarb in August to concurrent three-year sentences on each count (NYLJ, Aug. 22, 2011).
