In the filings, Apple (Cupertino, Calif.) acknowledged that the company faked documentation to indicate that a grant of 7.5 million options to CEO Steve Jobs was recorded at a special meeting of the board of directors on Oct. 19, 2001. Such a meeting, Apple said, did not occur.
Those stories are all about one incident many years ago. Posting several articles about the same thing doesn't turn it into a trend. And since that scandal, Apple has been fastidious about obeying the letter of the law. Sarbanes-Oxley is practically Apple's religion.
I was merely responding to the statement that 'illegal things are not something Apple would do' that was stated in a matter-of-fact manner.

And you would know this how? Just because there's nothing revealed right now doesn't mean there is nothing that is going on and might be revealed later. Of course this cuts both ways and I am certainly not implying that something shady is going on, but I am just curious about the free pass given to Apple on here on various things that other companies don't get.
I'm not particularly attached to that postion and willing to be convinced.
