Allegheny Alleges Merrill Lynch Made Wash Trades

LCG, September 26, 2002-Yesterday Allegheny Energy announced a lawsuit against Merrill Lynch, alleging the investment bank made wash trades to increase trading volume.

Allegheny bought Merrill Lynch's energy trading unit, Global Energy Markets (GEM), for $490 million. Now the energy company asserts that the investment bank participated in "wash trades," with energy companies like Enron, resulting in falsely large trading volumes and therefore a manipulated picture of how well GEM performed.

Allegheny's lawsuit was filed one day after Merrill Lynch announced that it would file suit against Allegheny for $115 million in delinquent payment for the trading unit.

Allegheny's lawsuit was filed with the Supreme Court of New York.
