United States v. Stulac

N/A

OUTCOME:

Mr. Leventhal was part of the Cooley team that achieved a major trial victory in March 2008 in San Diego federal court on behalf of client Daniel F. Stulac, one of the first outside auditors in the pos ... t-Enron era to go to trial against allegations of direct collusion with corrupt management. With six jurors voting not guilty, the twelve-member jury declined to find that Mr. Stulac was involved in the alleged conspiracy with Peregrine Systems, Inc.'s management to manipulate earnings and deceive investors. The six-week re-trial followed a three-month trial of Mr. Stulac that ended in August 2007 with a deadlocked jury and eight votes favoring acquittal of Mr. Stulac on all counts.
