Time for a corporate 1 crime update, and we begin this morning with Hewlett-Packard. Welcome back, everybody. 55 minutes past the hour. Let's get right to Ali Velshi, he is Minding Your Business this morning. Sadly, there's always lots to talk about on this front.

There is. I was, when you said that, that's why I sort of, I, I was thinking this, we can keep very busy with corporate crime updates. Ah, right, let's take you back to the HP pretexting case when we all learned about pretexting earlier in the summer. Well, there're five people charged, er, HP's former chair, Patricia Dunn, two company executives, two private eyes, they each face four felony counts. Well, yesterday, state prosecutors 2 offered them a deal, er, to replace the four felony count with one misdemeanor count. Now, all of them apparently 3 have declined this deal. And, it, it's mixed as to why they've done that. In one case, one of the lawyers says "it's because my client didn't do anything wrong, and we're gonna follow this through". What the, the larger thinking seems to be is that there is federal, there are federal charges against these five and state charges and the lawyers are trying to get them all sort of wrapped into one so they can say, all right, let's cut one deal all around and walk away from the thing without a trial. It would probably be best for HP, and best for the, the defendants 4 involved. But we will continue to follow that and see what happens.

Er, a lot of people, know the name HP, a lot of people know the name CVS, it's the nation's largest drugstore, by store count, at least. Now two former CVS executives have been indicted 5 by a grand jury in Rhode Island, er, for allegedly, well, here's the charges, conspiracy 6, bribery 7 and 21 counts of fraud, er, allegedly for paying a state senator to kill legislation in the State Senate that CVS didn't like and to sponsor legislation that CVS did like. The company hasn't been charged, I should note, and the company says it is, er, it is cooperating with this investigation 8. So we're yet to see what comes out of this, but er, a good old-fashioned who've done it, corporate case.
