The jury deliberated less than a day.

Jiau, of Fremont, California, was among 13 people arrested last year on charges she conspired to accept cash and gifts in exchange for financial information. Most of the other defendants pleaded guilty.

The 43-year-old worked for two years as a consultant for Primary Global Research, a Mountain View, California-based company. Born in Taiwan, she is a US citizen.

She faces steep fines and a possible prison term of 20 years when she is sentenced Sept. 21.
