Nelson Obus: The man who decided to fight the SEC

``Whether Obus is guilty of trading stocks on an insider's tip a decade ago depends on whom you ask. The SEC insists he is, and filed a case against him in 2006. But a federal judge late last year sided with Obus, ruling that the commission had failed to provide sufficient evidence and throwing out the case. Unbowed, the SEC has appealed that decision. A commission spokesman declined to comment on the case.''
