through electronic chat rooms, then using that information to
make money at the expense of their clients.
In April, Bank of America Corp had agreed to pay $180 million to
settle the lawsuit. JPMorgan Chase & Co settled for $99.5
million in January, and Switzerland's UBS AG settled for $135
million in March.
Goldman Sachs was not available for comment outside regular U.S.
business hours.
