Duluth Man Pleads Guilty to Securities Fraud
A Duluth man recently pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud in connection with a multi-million dollar scheme involving Carterβs stock.

He is the second Carter's executive to plead guilty to charges related to conspiracy within the company, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Eric M. Martin, the company's former head of investor relations, pleaded guilty in November.
