Rambus Destroyed Evidence In Anti-trust Trial

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.'

Re:They didn't destroy the documents...

It turns out they typed in all the documents at the campus computer center, and then their computer crashed. As most newbies do, they didn't make any backups. The computer center helpdesk said they couldn't help, so says Rambus.
