He was the co-author of a cover story on the collapse of the Bear Stearns hedge funds and started the magazine’s Unstructured Finance blog.
Previously, at TheStreet.com, Goldstein broke a number of stories, including the news that the Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating whether brokers were permitting customers to eavesdrop on their firms’ internal ‘squawk box’ conversations. His stories on the “squawk box†investigation were a finalist for a Gerald Loeb Award in 2006. Goldstein was also a reporter for Crain’s New York Business, The New York Law Journal, The Record of Hackensack and The Central New Jersey Home News. A graduate of the University of Rochester , Goldstein has a law degree from Fordham.
Swann joins Reuters from Bloomberg News, where he covered the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the U.S. Treasury. He was among the Bloomberg reporters who recently won the Overseas Press Club’s Malcolm Forbes Award for the series “Recipe for Famine.â€Before Bloomberg, Swann worked for the Financial Times for nine years.
