Default Former Gateway execs charged for fraud
Hi there guys and gals

Check this out. Maybe this was one of the reasons that resulted in gateway not wanting Amiga. What a bunch of F#$%. You know what I mean.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/51/34033.html

I also remember Gateway having a problem with loosing Microsoft discounts if they had produced their own PC. I just have to look for that article.

Ever wandered what happened to Ted? :-o

I posted a similar topic on AW but no-one cared ;-)

Glad to see someone else spotted it. Found it on news.com.

Curious. I hope McBride, Sontag, and the other SCO wankers see a similar fate leading to their gaol terms (for criminal fraud, deceipt, and being a bunch of evil irrelevant tossers)

Hello
IIRC Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss were former
executives of Gateway subsidiary, Amiga
International (or something else) (1998-1999).
Is this true?
