A former Cantor Fitzgerald LP trader dropped an employment lawsuit against the bank in which he’d claimed he was fired because he blew the whistle on so-called “wash trades.”

Ash Nadershahi, who worked as a high-yield trader at the firm’s European unit for a year, withdrew his claim Monday, a Cantor spokesman said in an email. No settlement or other agreement was struck with Nadershahi, he said.
