AUSTIN Texas (Texas Insider Report) The email that got Frank Quattrone in trouble back in 2003 stated that having been a key witness in a securities litigation case in south Texas I strongly advise you to follow these procedures. Quattrone who was stating his desire in an email chain that employees save subpoenaed documents voiced his discontent with now-FBI Director James Comeys announcement earlier this week that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would not be indicted for her use of a home-brewed personal email server.
Quattrones tweet comes after Comeys announcement that while Clintons use of a private email server was careless" and contained Top Secret information no reasonable prosecutor" would bring charges against her.
The email Quattrone forwarded took to heart a suggestion from a co-worker recommending that he encourage his co-workers to follow procedures.
In April 2003 investment banker Quattrone was indicted on charges of obstruction of justice by then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York James Comey for the one email sent to employees.
Quattrone was the subject of a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission probe into his dealings at Credit Suisse 1st Boston where he allegedly doled out hot stock offerings" to his friends. Quattrone hosted initial public offerings for companies like Amazon and Cisco in the late 1990s and his activity led to investigation at the height of the tech bubble.
Leading the charge of the investigation was Comey then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Comey charged Quattrone for the one sentence email in which he was alleged to have advised colleagues in late 2000 to destroy documents while regulators were investigating Wall Street investment banks" for the way they shared their lucrative initial 
public offerings."
The email that got Quattrone in trouble said:
Having been a key witness in a securities litigation case in south Texas I strongly advise you to follow these procedures."
Comey said that this email resulted in the destruction of numerous documents." Quattrone never faced jail time and the charges were eventually dropped.
