Two previous juries had deadlocked. Forbes is the former Chairman of the Cendant Corporation. And the Cendant Case was among the first in a series of corporate accounting scandals. Stockholders, by the way, recently changed the company's name. They now call it Avis Budget Group, reflecting a couple of rental car brands that are not so tainted with scandal.
