Federal Prosecutors Launch Probe of Dell

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the continuation-really dept.

An anonymous reader writes, "The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York has launched an investigation into Dell's finances and has subpoenaed company documents going back to 2002. Dell execs had previously said they didn't think any of this would add up to any material impact, but that seems to be a possibility now." More accurately, this is a continuation of an ongoing "informal" SEC probe. That probe has caused Dell to delay its financial reporting and raised the possibility of needing to restate previous quarters' earnings.

    Try BenQ, Samsung and (I believe) NEC.

    Plus Apple just came out with a 24" iMac. It costs twice as much, but it comes complete with a computer, all for the same size :)

    Samsung? Most of the panels you buy are from them anyway.
