ThreeJack on Rambus Inc.

This is another hidden cost of the employee stock options practice at Rambus. How many tens of millions in retained earnings were spent on stock buybacks to lessen the dilution caused by excessive option grants that might have been better spent on lobbying lawmakers on the value of pure IP companies like Rambus to the US economy?

Clearly, Micron knows where to spend its money.
Further:

On the subject of the options investigation, it has been over three months since Rambus announced its internal review. Considering Rambus is using outside legal and accounting forensic consultants for this project, how many internal and external manhours does it take to get the facts, draw conclusions, and restate financial reports for a company of less than 400 employees, and for only a handful of years? At this stage, every day of uncertainty about this investigation is a day too long.

Why is this investigation taking so long, Mr. Hughes??
