200704241931

It will be interesting to see where the SEC Investigation goes from here. Will they now pursue Steve Jobs with charges?

Update - 4/25/07: (via MacRumors.com)

Apple released a press release today in response to Fred Anderson’s public statement yesterday.

Apple Board Members Bill Campbell, Millard Drexler, Albert Gore Jr., Arthur D. Levinson, Eric Schmidt and Jerry York today released the following statement

We are not going to enter into a public debate with Fred Anderson or his lawyer. Steve Jobs cooperated fully with Apple’s independent investigation and with the government’s investigation of stock option grants at Apple. The SEC investigated the matter thoroughly and its complaint speaks for itself, in terms of what it says, what it does not say, who it charges, and who it does not charge. We have complete confidence in the conclusions of Apple’s independent investigation, and in Steve’s integrity and his ability to lead Apple.

It appears the the SEC is also satisfied with the level of cooperation it received from Apple and Steve Jobs.
