Former McAfee GC indicted in stock-options scandal
Former General Counsel of McAfee, Inc., Kent Roberts has been charged in a seven-count indictment by a federal grand jury.

The indictment was the result of an investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California. According to the indictment, Roberts fraudulently changed the dates on stock-option grants in the company's records (McAfee was called Network Associates at the time) to benefit himself.
