Courtesy of Reuters.com:

Alberto Vilar, a once high-flying New York money manager and arts philanthropist accused of stealing from clients, was found guilty of fraud and money laundering by a U.S. jury on Wednesday.

He was found guilty by a U.S. District Court jury in Manhattan of all 12 counts he faced.
