I work for Rubenstein and we represent some of the Brant companies. Per the style/tone notice, I have restructured the entry to be more in line with Wikipedia style. Following BLP protocol, and to mitigate any potential conflict of interest, I ask that an editor add the content to the page as they see fit. If the content is not moved in 48 hours, I will go ahead and edit the entry directly. If you have any concerns, please discuss here or on my talk page. // Brycetom (talk) 19:57, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I work for Rubenstein Communications and I propose the following updates on behalf of Peter M. Brant. To mitigate conflict of interest issues, I ask that an editor review the edits and take them live, as they see fit. If no objections are had and no edits are made within three days, I will go ahead and update the entry myself. NinaSpezz (talk) 18:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Peter M. Brant, I want to bring a third party editor’s attention to the recent additions to the “Personal life” section of this page. To mitigate conflict of interest issues, I ask that an editor review and edit accordingly.
The last three sentences in the second paragraph of that section (beginning with "Brant made a guilty plea in 1990...") are incorrect and possibly violates WP:BLP and WP:UNDUE. While the content as written is supported by the Forbes inline citation, it is important to note several other publications issued corrections by Brant's attorney, including the New York Times [1] as well as New York Magazine, which is already cited. Brant entered a plea of guilty to two misdemeanor charges related to failure to keep good records - not tax evasion, which is a criminal felony charge.

NinaSpezz, that second paragraph does not specifically state that Brant was charged for tax evasion, but charges relating to it. Technically speaking, his plea of guilty for failure to keep good records is related to tax evasion. There is no BLP violation that I can see. I can certainly see a bit of undue focus on why he was sentenced, so I'll tone it down a bit. Primefac (talk) 20:15, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Primefac Thank you for your assistance on this. Appreciate you taking the time to remove the undue focus.
The guilty plea was not for tax evasion – that is a criminal felony offense. Why not use the actual term of the misdemeanor which is failure to keep good records instead of alluding to something that he was not charged with? Financial Times [2] and Daily Mail [3] each made clear the plea was for two misdemeanor charges related to failure to keep good tax records and not tax evasion.

EX-BROKER TELLS OF DECEPTION

Peter N. Brant, the former stockbroker at Kidder, Peabody & Company who has pleaded guilty to trading on advance information about forthcoming articles in The Wall Street Journal, testified yesterday about how he and the others involved in the trading planned to cover up their actions once the Securities and Exchange Commission began its investigation.
Starting in March 1984, the S.E.C. began questioning R. Foster Winans, the former Wall Street Journal reporter charged with leaking the information; Kenneth Felis, a former Kidder, Peabody broker who is also on trial, and David W.C. Clark, a New York lawyer who was one of Mr. Brant's largest clients.
Mr. Brant testified that on March 1, 1984, Mr. Clark told him the S.E.C. had asked a lot of questions about his trading, including whether he knew Mr. Winans. Mr. Clark said he had sent the S.E.C. up some blind alleys, Mr. Brant testified. 46.21.151.107 (talk) 17:50, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong Peter Brant. The stockbroker in the NYT article is Peter N. Brant. The tycoon and art collector in this Wikipedia article is Peter M. Brant. 18:10, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
