NEW YORK, July 9 (UPI) -- Hedge-fund manager Rengan Rajaratnam has been found not guilty of conspiring with his older brother Raj in insider trading.
Tuesday's acquittal was the first loss for Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for New York's Southern District, after a long string of convictions. Bharara, who charged 88 people in what prosecutors said was a massive conspiracy, has won 10 guilty verdicts and 71 guilty pleas with the rest still unresolved.
