Two-Ring Circus: HP And The Government's Probe

摘要

It's hard to decide which is the bigger spectacle: the sight of Hewlett-Packard principals reacting to escalating evidence of boardroom misconduct, or that of government power brokers lining up to declare their indignation. At last count, the U.S. Attorney's office, the offices of at least two state attorneys general, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and its Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, as well as the FCC, SEC, and FBI all want a piece of HP and its cohorts. Expect much grandstanding in the coming weeks.
