The widening investigation of insider trading on Wall Street is expected to examine transactions at Steven A. Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors, one of America's largest and most successful hedge funds, according to people familiar with the matter.
A plea agreement between the government and a cooperating witness in the investigation, Richard Choo Beng Lee, indicates that Mr. Lee has agreed to provide information to prosecutors about a hedge fund where he worked between 1999 and 2004. That firm is SAC, according to people familiar with the matter.
