SV Confidential: Who's pleading the fifth
On the day of the Congressional hearing for Hewlett-Packard, the first federal investigation into corporate espionage practices that could be industry-wide, we're following who says what, but more importantly, who refuses to speak at all. Here's who took the Fifth so far:
- Ann Baskins, former HP lead counsel who resigned today
- Kevin Hunsaker, HP ethics director
- Anthony Gentilucci, former HP head of global investigation
- Ron DeLia, manager of Boston firm Security Outsourcing Solutions and outside investigator for HP
Meanwhile, chairwoman Patricia Dunn and HP lead outside counsel Larry Sonsini agreed to answer questions, showing that they believe they can escape the blame if they point to the more immediate culprits.
