Former Medtronic Consultant Convicted in Insider Trading Case

The conviction stems from a scheme involving nonpublic information about the acquisition of Mazor Robotics, resulting in significant profits.

A federal jury convicted former Medtronic consultant Doron Tavlin of insider trading linked to the acquisition of Mazor Robotics.
Tavlin was found guilty on one count of conspiracy to commit insider trading and 10 counts of securities fraud.
Twin Cities insurance agent David Jay Gantman was acquitted of all charges against him.
Afshin 'Alex' Farahan, who pleaded guilty in 2022, and Tavlin were involved in a scheme that netted over $500,000 in profits from the acquisition.
The case, resulting from an FBI investigation, awaits sentencing dates for Tavlin and Farahan.
