The Wall Street Journal reports, Police on Thursday arrested a man they said confessed to the murder of 6-year-old Etan Patz, a breakthrough in a 1979 case that drew national attention to the issue of missing children and led parents to regard strangers with heightened suspicion. New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Pedro Hernandez, a 51-year-old New Jersey resident, was arrested on a charge of murder in the second degree after he admitted Wednesday to coaxing Etan into the Manhattan convenience store where he worked. The arrest came almost 33 years to the day after Etan went missing, during a short walk to his school bus stop on May 25, 1979. He was declared legally dead in 2001, although his body never was found. May Etan rest in peace. Keep your children safe.
Reuters reports, Claims by four of Wall Street’s main market makers against Nasdaq over Facebook’s botched IPO are likely to exceed $100 million, as they and other traders continue to deal with thousands of problems with customer orders. Four of the top market makers in the Facebook IPO — Knight Capital, Citadel Securities, UBS AG and Citi’s Automated Trading Desk — collectively have probably lost more than $100 million from problems arising from the deal, said a senior executive at one of the firms. Nasdaq also has to contend with the outside prospect, that it could lose the Facebook listing entirely, after having just obtained it.
