The SEC's civil complaint [PDF text] alleged that Global Crossing's former CEO Thomas Casey, former CFO Dan Cohrs, and former EVP Joseph Perrone aided and abetted the company's failure to adequately disclose material information on its swaps of fiber-optic network capacity with other companies. Under the settlement [SEC press release; Global Crossing press release], the three former executives will pay fines without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC complaint. AP has more.
