A federal jury has deadlocked in a trial to determine if Umpqua Bank abetted a Novato-based financial scheme that bilked some 1,200 investors out of more than $250 million.

The three-week trial stemmed from a class-action lawsuit that aggrieved investors filed against the bank. The jury began deliberations on Feb. 26 and announced the impasse on Tuesday.
