19 of 42 would be a pretty darn good batting average in the MLB. Less so in a guilty verdict. Former Quest CEO Joe Nacchio has been found guilty on 19 counts of insider trading after six days of jury deliberations in his criminal trial. In 2001, over five months Nacchio more than 100 million dollars worth of Quest stock, before disclosing the financial troubles the company was facing. A civil trial relating to the same issues is still pending.
