Title: Former Gateway execs charged for fraud
Post by: Kees on November 19, 2003, 09:34:02 AM
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.

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?
