After a quiet summer, the backdating scandal appears to be ready to re-emerge front and center in the business community; Brocade's former CEO Gregory Reyes was apparently found guilty of 10 counts of backdating and related securities infractions today. As the markets have slowed (perhaps signaling a finale to the private equity/debt bubble), the last vestiges of the previous bubble (the tech one that popped in 2000-01) are being litigated.
Apple's Steve Jobs remains the highest-profile CEO to be implicated in the backdating scandal, although no SEC charges have been brought against him.
