HP Pays $14.5M to Make Civil Charges Disappear 107
theodp writes "The California Attorney General's Office negotiated a $14.5 million payoff from HP as part of a settlement that calls for the state not to pursue civil charges related to the now infamous spy scandal against the company and its current or former officers or directors (felony criminal charges against five individuals still remain). HP also agreed to maintain the watchdog positions of chief ethics officer and chief privacy officer for five years."

Here's an example verification, which I found by hacking one of the servers:
Suppose a supplier offers to bribe you with a pair of World Series tickets to increase your purchases from his company. Should you:
a) Say yes! Baseball is America's game, and give-and-take is good business.
b) Refuse the offer and report the incident to top management
c) Ask about the seats. Might as well watch the game on HDTV if it's the bleachers, but infield grandstand starts to get interesting
d) Giants in the Worlds Series? AHAHAHAHAHA
meaningless settlement. (Score:3, Funny)
