Facts eh, always spoil a good conspiracy .
"The Financial Conduct Authority said today it has dropped an insider trading investigation into three hedge fund managers it arrested in February.
The three individuals were Tim Whyte and Carl Linderum, founding partners of hedge fund Lodestone Natural Resources, and Carl Esprey, at the time, a portfolio manager at GLG Partners. None of the three were ever charged with any crime.
A spokesman for the FCA said in a statement: "The FCA can confirm that three individuals arrested on 27 Feb 2013 are no longer under investigation."
Whyte said in a statement: "I am pleased that after a thorough investigation by the FCA I have been completely cleared of any inappropriate behaviour. Despite an extremely traumatic few months, I would like to thank the FCA for resolving the case quickly and clearing my name. I now look forward to drawing a line under the matter".
Linderum's lawyer Elizabeth Roberston, a partner at K&L Gates, said: "Carl is delighted the case has been dropped and feels that it's a reflection of the evidence that the case has been discontinued."
Esprey said in a statement: "I am delighted that having conducted a full investigation, the FCA have exonerated me of any inappropriate behaviour. From a very early stage I gave a full and comprehensive explanation to the FCA. I am grateful for the support of my friends and family through this very difficult time. I now look forward to getting on with my life with my name cleared and reputation intact."
