Former Goldman Sachs managing director Roger Ng was found guilty Friday of conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and commit money laundering, nearly 16 hours after jurors began deliberating in Brooklyn federal court.

Prosecutors said the money was intended for roads and power grid improvements in Malaysia but was instead used to bribe officials in Malaysia and Abu Dhabi and to pay a $35 million kickback to Ng personally.
