A week after Tom C. Davis resigned unexpectedly and without explanation as chairman of Dean Foods Co.'s board of directors, reports surfaced he was being investigated in connection with insider trading, which could involve golfer Phil Mickelson and a Las Vegas gambler. Bloomberg News quoted Davis' lawyer as saying the former chairman is cooperating with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that he had no knowledge of non-public information about Dean Foods being communicated to Mickelson or gambler William "Billy" Walters. Bloomberg said the FBI also is looking into the matter. The two agencies and prosecutors in New York were reviewing Dean Foods stock trades made in 2012 just as the company was spinning off its organic milk and nondairy "milks" into WhiteWave Foods Co. Walters and Mickelson haven't been accused of wrongdoing.
