********** Background on Avant trial: http://www0.mercurycenter.com/premium/business/docs/avantco14.htm ********** From: Tracy Romine <TracyRat_private> To: "'declanat_private'" <declanat_private> Subject: Avant Trial Date: Mon, 14 May 2001 17:39:46 -0700 Declan, I just did an interesting interview today with the founder of Cadence Design Systems, Jim Solomon. Thats the company which several former Avant executives, including CEO George Hsu are alleged to have swindled out of source code in the early 1990's. The criminal trial just got underway today in San Jose. www.cnetradio.com has the interview archived under the 'Afternoon Show with Tracy Romine' heading. It will be up thru tomorrow afternoon. Solomon apparently felt very comfortable sharing his opinions on the case, and why he is certain Hsu should 'go down'. Because has since moved on to Xulu Entertainment, Cadence attornies haven't gagged Solomon.
