I think I'll refer to it as "The No Dr. Evil" defense, where Intel must be innocent unless you have a CxO on tape plotting to assassinate Hector Ruiz. Compare that to your belief that Intel Executives must be guilty even if there is no evidence. Thanks, Rogue Trader defense right on schedule. You're the one who brought it up, not me. Which of AMD's allegations are you willing to concede to a rogue salseperson? How did he evade the web of lawyers? What regions did he cover? Which OEMs? How did he authorize and account for rebates? Was it one person or a conspiracy? I have no idea and neither do you because we haven't seen any evidence. But you're evading the question, in light of the 'Intel is inherently evil' hypothesis expounded by the many AMD employees posting here, will you, or do you expect they will be satisfied if no evidence can be found of a corporate policy of planned intentional illegal acts, directed and supported by or at least with the full knowledge and consent of the Executive Staff? Remember, the SEC found AMD's executives had conspired, plotted and carried out the theft of Intel IP, the submission of false documents to the SEC and the making of false statements in their press releases and public speeches. Surely if no evidence can be unearthed that Intel Executives participated in the illegal acts they have been accused of repeatedly and continuously here for years, the AMD fantasy of the 'Evil Empire' will be exposed as the nonsense BS is clearly was, is and will always be.
