Quattrone Guilty For Emailing Colleagues To Destroy Files
from the there's-that-email-again dept
Frank Quattrone, the famed investment banker who was a star in taking Silicon Valley companies public during the boom years, has now been found guilty of obstruction of justice for his emails to colleagues suggesting they destroy certain files concerning stock allocation. While the documents may have been destroyed, that email wasn't... once again showing how emails can come back to haunt people. Has anyone done a study recently looking at just how many fraud cases these days involve email evidence?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
