In an effort to collect information over the potential manipulation of currency markets, U.S. investigators at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice have turned a number of bank employees into informants, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
The informants have remained at their banks and are surreptitiously putting together evidence against their colleagues, with whom they have spoken about potential crimes, recording their conversations, The Wall Street Journal reports. Justice Department prosecutors and FBI agents are working to put together criminal charges against some traders by next month.
