HP Hush Money For The Government Mafia
HP to $14.5M Settlement in Boardroom Spy Case
In California, Hewlett-Packard has agreed to pay $14.5 million to settle charges over its surveillance of journalists and board members in an attempt to discover the source of information leaked to the media. Five Hewlett-Packard officials – including former chair Patricia Dunn – have been indicted on criminal charges. Prosecutors say the settlement will go towards funding investigations into privacy rights and intellectual property violations.

When will DN! start pointing out the Rackets game being played by most branches of government?If you or I were to commit wrongdoing, and attempted to bribe the government, we would be prosecuted.
But when a corporation does it, it's just another cost of doing business, part of the Protection Racket that government has become.
How much of the $14.5 million will go to the victims of Hewlett-Packard's crimes?
None.
How many HP officials will be prosecuted for their deliberate, intentional, illegal conduct?
None.
When Democracy Now and the rest of the news media is silent, do they not become co-conspirators?
