NEW YORK — Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wiz on insider-trading6 t9 x- m2 i, x0 ~" o

The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying in their beer. So when Carlssin5 F" H; s/ c' \, _' w; E2 ^0 t

”It was just too tempting to resist,” Carlssin allegedly said in his videotaped confession. “I had planned to, L: S; A' E, b# U
