NEW YORK CITY — A practicing attorney who lived in New Jersey and practiced law in New York City received a six-month prison term in December 2011 for passing information on pending mergers to stock traders. The case was intertwined with the Galleon Hedge Fund prosecutions for which Raj Rajaratnam, founder of the fund, received an 11-year-federal sentence
