The New York Post reports that UBS has been sued by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who claims that the Swiss bank duped clients into buying auction-rate securities by passing them off as safe investments. Cuomo said: 'Not only is UBS guilty of committing a flagrant breach of trust between the bank and its customers, its top executives jumped ship as soon as the securities market started to collapse, leaving thousands of customers holding the bag'.
A UBS spokesperson said: 'It is frustrating that the New York Attorney General has filed this complaint while we have been fully engaged in good-faith negotiations with his office to bring liquidity to our clients' holding auction-rate securities. We will vigorously defend ourselves against this complaint'.
Finally, Reuters reports that new Wachovia CEO Robert Steele has put his money where his mouth is, buying a million shares in the company this week for a cool $16.1m.
