\"U.S.<\/a>An analyst with J.P. Morgan Securities<\/strong> and two longtime friends were arrested\u00a0today\u00a0after being charged in a federal grand jury indictment alleging that they made more than $600,000 in illegal profits, officials said.<\/p>\n

Ashish Aggarwal<\/strong>, 27, of San Francisco; Shahriyar Bolandian,<\/strong> 26, of the Palms District in Los Angeles; and Kevan Sadigh,<\/strong> 28, of Encino, are named in an indictment that was unsealed this morning.<\/p>\n

If they are convicted of the crimes alleged in the indictment, the three defendants would face \u00a0up to five years in federal prison for the conspiracy count and 20 years for each of the substantive fraud counts.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Bolandian could be sentenced to as much as 10 years in prison if he is convicted of the separate money laundering offense.<\/p>\n

Here are the allegations against the trio:<\/strong><\/p>\n
