A star banker from the dotcom era whose career ended in a jail sentence has won his appeal against conviction.
Frank Quattrone, 50, had been given an 18-month jail term for obstruction of justice, over claims he tried to hinder a probe into financial misdealings.
But a US appeals court has thrown out the conviction and ordered a new trial after accepting that the jury received wrong instructions from the judge.
Mr Quattrone had been allowed to stay on bail while his appeal was heard.
