Both the San Francisco Chronicle and Bloomberg reported earlier today that Apple CEO Steve Jobs had been questioned by officials from the Justice Department and the SEC last week.
According to the reports Jobs arrived at a San Francisco Federal building last week for an interview “flanked by lawyers.”
It looks likely that the authorities are interested in a grant for 7.5 million options that were issued to the CEO in 2001 and were back dated 2 months.
According to the Chronicle a source familiar with the case states that Apple attorney Wendy Howell created the false documents at instruction of Apple management, Howell was dismissed in December 2006.
