SAN FRANCISCO AP – A criminal probe of Apple Inc.’s co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs over stock options tampering is now over, but the potential legal shadow over him and the company isn’t going away just yet.
Although Jobs is not being indicted for his role in Apple’s backdating of stock options grants, he will likely be called to the stand in at least two other cases. And there could be trouble over stock options at Pixar Animation Studios Inc., where Jobs was also chief executive before its buyout by Walt Disney Co. Pixar has said its former chief financial officer could face civil charges from securities regulators.
