Amy J. You wrote:...what Dunlap's secret sauce for success on avoiding anti-trust issues is. He intimidates the executives. Apparently, he runs around and scares the dickens out of people by jumping into their offices unexpectedly and demanding to investigate on the fly as if he were the gov't. Tim Jackson in Inside Intel reveals, the company does treat its top-producing employees well -- until they try to leave the company. The book is full of tales of superstars who tried to leave to form their own businesses and ended up with Intel's legal hell hounds on their trail. The strategic lawsuit -- designed to distract and slow down a competitor rather than to seek reparation for any violation of the law -- is another high-tech business concept that Intel appears to have invented. The book reveals that Grove actually required Intel's general counsel to bring two lawsuits per quarter in order to meet his objectives. Tom Dunlap, Intel's attorney with great ethics? Sounds to me that Thomas Dunlap is a Scumbag! If acting this way on orders from Andy Grove, he should be included too! I see that lawyer Dunlap exercised 192,000 shares of Intel at $5.71 a share on 2002-01-18 and 192,000 shares of Intel at $4.195 a share on 2001-04-20. These same shares were sold the same day that they were exercised. On 2002-01-18 they brought $33.87 per share and on 2001-04-20 they brought $31.939 per share. For holding 384,000 shares of Intel for less than a day, the brilliant attorney for Intel Thomas F. Dunlap collected $10,733,567 This money was gleefully contributed from Intel share holders earnings by re-purchasing Intel shares on the open market. Besides paying a common lawyer a fabulous yearly salary it is strange that the Intel shareholders should give Mr. Dunlop $10,733,567 from the meager Intel share holder's meager earnings. Amy, you are in a dream world thinking that options don't cost anything? Maybe the Tooth Fairy brings the money for re-purchasing the million of shares given away in Grove's: Inner Circle Lunch Program. We must support the Intel engineers, but the ICLP program is undermining their stock option plan...humble carl
