Investment banker's petition for review of the SEC's affirmance of the New York Stock Exchange's (NYSE) finding that petitioner violated NYSE Rule 476(a)(6) by disclosing a client's confidential information to a third party, the petition is denied where: 1) a violation of the rule did not require bad faith; 2) mere unethical conduct was sufficient for violation of the rule outside the breach of contract context; and 3) summary judgment was appropriate on the issue of petitioner's guilt.
