Episode description

You might remember in a previous podcast towards the end of 2021, that Robert and Toby discussed HP's disastrous acquisition of Autonomy and the huge accounting scandal that unfolded.  Well, the reality is that repercussions are still being felt more than 10 years later and there are criminal prosecutions that have resulted in a jail term for the CFO.  Added to that, a recently approved application should see Autonomy founder Mike Lynch extradited to face charges in the US.  He's fighting the extradition as we speak, but if a trial goes ahead he is almost certain to face a prison sentence.

Let's join the podcast and get a recap from rob and Toby and perhaps give some thought to whether more white-collar crime should be prosecuted?
