Judge Set to Rule on Motion to Dismiss Charges Against Former Broadcom CFO Ruehle
The Broadcom stock options backdating prosecution is "one of the strangest white-collar crime cases in years," says one law school professor. And it's not over yet. Today, California federal Judge Cormac Carney -- who has already put a stop to the criminal prosecution of two Broadcom defendants -- will decide whether to dismiss the indictment of former Broadcom CFO William Ruehle. That ruling, moreover, could affect the upcoming accounting fraud case against a fourth Broadcom defendant, co-founder Henry Nicholas III.
