Apple Execs Reportedly Faked Options Documents

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hands-in-the-cookie-jar dept.

theodp writes "Federal prosecutors are reportedly looking closely at stock option administration documents that were apparently falsified by Apple execs to maximize the profitability of option grants. While Apple has said CEO Steve Jobs did not profit from the stock-option backdating, Jobs has reportedly hired his own attorney to deal with the SEC and Justice Department."

    "Cue the Microsoft in league with the government conspiracy theories."

    Well they are, with the Bush administration at least.
    That was hoisted up high and shown quite publicly in 2001.

    However, this matter has nothing to do with MS, and even if it did have some element of MS in it, it concerns actions that Apple did by themselves and if guilty of a crime, should be penalized.

    I do find it funny that you just painted yourself as a total MS shill though.
    How's that beige polyester suit and loafers working out for you at the singles bar?
