CA's Ousted CEO Sanjay Kumar Pulls Rabbit Out of the Hat

Sources Claim the Idea Was Sanjay's, Not His Lawyers

Is IBM Planning to Buy Out CA?

Ousted Computer Associates CEO Sanjay Kumar, who has been indicted for securities fraud, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and lying to law enforcement officials, has managed to get his trial date put off indefinitely.

The government wanted the trial to start next September and said it would only take a month if Sanjay stipulated that CA backdated contracts to the $2.2 billion in revenues over the years so its numbers met guidance, a practice Sanjay denies.

If he didn't stipulate, maybe it would run three months.

Sanjay, claiming due process, countered that his lawyer had to wade through all of the two million odd pages of documents that the government's three-year investigation of CA generated - not just the incriminating stuff - and that it would take them something like two years to do that.

In response, District Court Judge I Leo Glasser put the trial off indefinitely.

Sources claim the idea was Sanjay's, not his lawyers.
