Federal Prosecutors Launch Probe of Dell

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday September 11, 2006 @02:15AM 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.

I know I should not feed the trolls.

1. It is 9-11-2001 not 2000
2. If it is such a serious matter, you should get that much right.
3. If today is a day that requires a somber tone....I would suggest avoiding slashdot, or at least reading it at +3 or +4
