Byline: Joseph Pryweller

The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Alfred Teo, owner of leading plastic bag producer Sigma Plastics Group, with insider trading and other actions that allegedly netted him and several relatives and colleagues more than $23 million in illegal profit.

The civil suit contends that Teo illegally purchased securities in Minneapolis-based Musicland Stores Corp. in the summer and fall of 2000.

Teo had learned through confidential communications with Musicland executives that the mall retailer would be sold to Best Buy Co. Inc., the suit alleges. The Musicland deal was announced publicly in December 2000.
