Federal prosecutors Move Against Financial Advisor of Broadcom Co-Founder
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.

More on the Gunther indictment via Reuters.

It's Brocade, not Broadcom, where the former CEO was convicted. In addition, charges haven't been filed against Nicholas, as the LATimes story that you link to makes clear.

Colin is correctomundo.

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.
