Report Claims SCO Intends to Charge IBM with Fraud

An anonymous reader writes "Now it gets interesting. According to this report, it looks as if SCO is preparing to accuse IBM of fraud, and has even opened up a web site to counter the runaway success of Groklaw. SCO's expensive attorneys Boies and Silver are apparently going to file a motion asking the court to unseal most of the documents that are currently under seal, in the hope that certain of IBM's e-mails will be seen by the outside world to tell a story about AIX, Dynix, and Project Monterey that implicates IBM in, well to be blunt, fraud. Groklaw is certain to have its own distinct view about this latest development of course."

I think this would be interesting.

Day 1: SCO Allows Comments
Day 2: GNAA Trolls start attack
5 Minutes Later: SCO closes site.
Next day: GNAA Claims Victory.

Proof the trolls are not completely worthless.
