U.S. Is Said to Investigate Datek Trading
By GRETCHEN MORGENSON
NEW YORK -- The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York is
investigating trading activities at Datek Securities that took place as
recently as two years ago, according to an official close to the case.
Robert Bethge, chief marketing officer of Datek Online Holdings, said:
We have not been informed that Datek Online is a target of any
investigation. We have received a document subpoena from the U.S.
attorney, and we are cooperating fully with the U.S. attorney's
office.

Vulcan Ventures Yanks Investment in Datek Online
By DAVID BARBOZA
Excerpts:
Vulcan's withdrawal is a serious setback to Datek Online, which in the
mid-1998 canceled an initial public offering of stock after the
Manhattan district attorney said he was investigating whether Datek had
taken part in a money-laundering operation and former traders at Datek
said they were interviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission
about whether there were illegal trading practices at the firm.
Separately, Datek was named, but not charged, in a federal indictment
in Florida last month that accused five non-Datek individuals,
including two with ties to organized crime, with mail fraud, securities
fraud and money laundering.

Forbes--"We'd steer clear of Datek...until its accounting scandal is
well behind it."

E-crash!
By Bernard Condon
Excerpt:
"Note the high number of trades per customer at Datek Online ($10 per
trade), known for robust technology and, unfortunately, financial
improprieties involving the use of customer accounts to pay off its
bills. You may want to sign up for Datek, though we'd hold off until it
proves it can keep its books clean."

MARKET WATCH
A Slap on the Cyberwrist
By EDWARD WYATT
"But part of policing is penalizing wrongdoing...The victims of a
brokerage firm that is dipping into customer funds, however, cannot
possibly know what is going on. They need the SEC to police the
market's infrastructure with more than a popgun."
