NEW YORK (AP) — A former stockbroker has pleaded guilty in New York to insider trading charges, admitting his role in a scheme that earned participants about $1 million in illegal profits.

Denver resident Thomas Conradt entered the plea Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan. The plea came as part of a cooperation deal with the government as it continues its probe into trading that occurred as IBM Inc. was acquiring a software company in 2009.
