R. Foster Winans
R. Foster Winans (born August 5, 1948) is a former columnist for ''The Wall Street Journal'' who co-wrote the〔(bizjournalismhistory.org )〕 "Heard on the Street Column" from 1982 to 1984 and was convicted of insider trading and mail fraud. He was indicted by then-U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani and convicted in 1985 of violating Federal law by leaking advance word of the contents of his columns to a stockbroker, Peter N. Brant,〔Not to be confused with an unrelated Peter N. Brant, a wealthy industrialist and socialite from Connecticut.〕 at Kidder, Peabody & Co., an old-line brokerage firm. Brant was decades later labeled a recidivist〔(SEC litigation )〕 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Winans' conviction for violating securities law was affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1987 as ''Carpenter v. United States'' by a rare 4–4 deadlocked vote.〔(CARPENTER V. UNITED STATES, 484 U. S. 19 (1987) - US Supreme Court Cases from Justia & Oyez )〕 The Supreme Court unanimously affirmed his convictions for committing federal mail and wire fraud, however. He served nine months in federal prison.
==Conviction==
Winans admitted his participation in the scheme and to earning $31,000 from it, but pleaded not guilty, arguing that his behavior was unethical but not criminal. Winans was found guilty and sentenced to 18 months in prison, later reduced to a year and a day. In a 2006 speech on the importance of ethical journalism as a necessary aid to help the SEC combat stock market fraud, Christopher Cox, chairman of the SEC, stated that "Winans, who was found guilty of 59 separate counts of securities fraud, is by no means the only journalist who has stood accused of law breaking, and who brought disgrace to (journalism)."〔Christopher Cox,
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (Speech by SEC Chairman:Remarks at the Annual Meeting of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers )〕
Both the securities industry and the First Amendment lobby criticized the prosecution as overstepping the bounds of the securities laws, and filed amicus briefs during the appeals process. Winans's case included two co-defendants and reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1987 as ''Carpenter v. United States'', where the conviction was affirmed by a rare 4-4 deadlock.〔 The missing member was due to the retirement of Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr.. The Supreme Court unanimously affirmed his convictions for committing federal mail and wire fraud, however. The case is still taught in law and journalism schools.〔http://biotech.law.lsu.edu/cases/FCA/Carpenter_v_US.htm〕 Winans's book about the case, ''Trading Secrets'', was published in 1986 by St. Martin's Press in the U.S. and under the title ''Wall Street'' in France.〔"Trading Secrets: Seduction and Scandal at The Wall Street Journal." Trading Secrets: Seduction and Scandal at The Wall Street Journal. Winans Kuenstler Publishing, n.d. Web. 30 Nov. 2012..〕 It was excerpted in ''Esquire'' magazine and was a Book-of-the-Month Club Selection.
