DATEK EXECUTIVES GET FINES: Seven former traders and executives of Datek Online, once heralded as a pioneer in online stock trading, agreed to pay $70-million in fines for what regulators called illegal trading and fraudulent bookkeeping during the market boom of the 1990s. The Securities and Exchange Commission called it one of the largest securities-fraud settlements in history. Regulators said the group of former traders and executives made tens of millions of dollars by engaging in stock fraud that went on for nearly a decade and involved taking advantage of a Nasdaq trading system that was intended to help smaller investors.
