[In the case, Pancerzewski's lawyer referred to a 1995 e-mail message from former CFO Mike Brown to Chief Executive Bill Gates. In the e-mail, Brown wrote: "I believe we should do all we can to smooth our earnings and keep a steady state earnings model," according to a court transcript.] This SEC investigation sounds harmless and routine to me.

Brown, of course, has since moved on to be a senior NASDAQ officer.
