    His Wikipedia article is quite a ride. Apparently he and a Stephen Chamberlain were recently found innocent for a bunch of fraud charges. They boil down to inflating the value of a SW company he sold to Hewlett-Packart. They died within a day of each other in unrelated accidents. Must be rough.

      On one hand, if inflating the value of the startup you’re offloading onto a tech giant is a crime we should put half of Silicon Valley in prison. On the other hand, maybe we should put half of the Valley in prison.

        Right? Didn’t even get caught hiring assassins, unlike those Boeing clowns. Just a weird coincidence, haha!

          Given that his codefendant was hit and killed by a car three days after the acquittal, I’m not sure if they even hired assassins or if they have some kind of black magicians on staff.
