Federal prosecutors have moved a step closer to Broadcom co-founder,
Henry T. Nicholas III, filing criminal charges against California attorney Craig Steven Gunther, who spent several years managing Nicholas's personal finances.
The Gunther indictment doesn't specifically mention stock option backdating. Early in the year the company made
a massive $2.5 billion restatement resulting from backdating irregularities (the original estimate was more like $704 million) and
saw its CFO resign as a result of the issues.

Impending fatherhood has clouded my mind and dulled my blog-fu. We're due tomorrow so I am fairly well distracted.
I have humbly corrected the above post.
