Rambus Destroyed Evidence In Anti-trust Trial

Posted by timothy on from the oh-no-it-was-an-accident dept.

Marasmus writes "CNN is reporting that memory-chip maker Rambus has been found guilty of destroying evidence which was 'critical' to the anti-trust case brought by the U.S. government. Interestingly, the Judge has denied the FTC's request to move on to the penalty phase of the trial. Destruction of evidence in an anti-trust case normally yields a forfeiture of trial, but Rambus 'will have the burden of proving its innocence" instead.'

    Whats with this post? The article is three sentences. And the case is about as dull as a law case can be. The only connection it has with "News For Nerds" is the fact that it is a Chip-Making company....

    Rambus is strictly a company of lawyers and engineers...they have no product. Even worse, they stole there main ideas from an industry convention and patented material that wasn't originally their's. It isn't even a question that is company has horrible business ethics. I hope they shut down for good, and then I hope the founders are deported and made to go into exile :) Fuck RAMBUS.

    I wish there was such a thing. I can only hope more municipalities will follow the lead of Porter Townhip.
