Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the transparency-whether-you-like-it-or-not dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Blogger and ex-Linspire CEO Kevin Carmony reports that Michael Robertson has been sued by a Linspire shareholder to get to the bottom of what happened to Linspire's assets. One hundred shareholders have been left uninformed as to what happened to the company and its assets after Linspire was sold to Xandros a few months back."

    Well, how do you expect him to empty your bank accounts if you don't let him in through the back-end?
