(CNN) Preet Bharara has reached that lofty pantheon of fame where it seems everyone knows him by just his first name. After being nominated by President Barack Obama in 2009, Bharara quickly carved out a reputation for sniffing out huge, intricate financial frauds, often at hedge funds or giant Wall Street firms. His insider trading cases landed him on the cover of Time magazine in 2012 under the headline "This Man is Busting Wall Street." Once, Bharara went on a stunning streak and piled up 85 straight wins in corruption cases. Wall Street may be breathing a sigh of relief Saturday night that that aggression will no longer be directed its way.
