Apple Board Members Response to Fred Anderson

Apple has released a press release regarding Fred Anderson's public statement yesterday. The press release reads:

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 Apples independent investigation and with the governments 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 Apples independent investigation, and in Steves integrity and his ability to lead Apple.

Translation: "Even if, through some twist of fate, Steve gets convicted, we won't boot him from CEO."

glad to hear that they're not going to escalate the issue by further commenting more than necessary.

It's a shame it's come to this for Fred Anderson, a man whom I've always regarded as the unsung hero in Apple's recovery from the dark days.

Still seems to me that, despite the way the headlines are written, that Nancy Heinen misled Jobs, who in turn unknowingly communicated that false info to Anderson.

So far, the SEC's actions (or lack thereof) speak louder than Anderson's inferences. Guess we'll see if that remains, and I'm curious to see if anything new comes out when Heinen goes to trial.
