The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announces that they are charging Leon Cooperman with insider trading on Sept. 21, 2016. They accuse Cooperman of abusing his status as a large shareholder in the Atlas Pipeline Partners deal and receiving non-public information ahead of other investors. Cooperman announces that the charges are "without merit" and that he will be fighting them. In 2010, Cooperman was accused of making illegal profits after an executive from Atlas Pipeline Partners provided him confidential information.
