Two Former Coastal Corp. Traders Accused of Fraud

LCG, Oct. 30, 2001--The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission yesterday accused two energy traders with defrauding their former employer, Coastal Corp., in an illegal trading scheme five years ago.

Clay Krhovjak and Paul Cochran, who were vice presidents with Coastal's commodity futures trading desk in Houston at the time, were responsible for placing trades with the New York Mercantile Exchange.

They are charged with moving $89,228 from successful Coastal trades into straw man accounts, thus shifting Coastal's profits to themselves.

The Commission said in its complaint that the scheme "ensured Cochran, Krhovjak and other participants risk-free personal profits." The two could face civil penalties and trading prohibitions if found guilty.

Cochran and Krhovjak have already pleaded guilty in a U.S. District Court in Texas. In September of last year, both pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, with sentencing expected early next year.
