are? not really. jobs is accounting would be challenged by his own cfo, fred anderson. a hero during apple s comeback, anderson was one executive who took the fall for back dating. as apple s chief financial officer, you had overall responsibility to ensure that the company complied with all financial reporting requirements, true? on advice of council, i decline to answer, based on my fifth amendment right. when the fcc investigated, apple effectively threw anderson under the bus. he was forced to resign from apple s board, and to pay $3.6 million in penalties. but in a very statement, anderson s lawyer made it clear that fred had relied on statements by jobs that turned out to be false, and anderson had explained the dangers of back dating to jobs. now this contradicted exactly what jobs and the company had maintained, which was that steve jobs didn t appreciate why this
nancy hyman who certified the minutes of the phony board meeting. like anderson, she would settle with the s.e.c. without admitting or denying guilt. but her silence raised questions, would she have just decided on her own to fake a board meeting to enrich steve jobs? who wanted this done? as we ve seen in the discussions of the past hour, i spent a lot of time trying to take care of people at apple. and to, you know, surprise and delight them with what a career at apple could be, could mean to them and their families. and i felt that the board wasn t really doing the same with me. right.
was a problem. i think the notion that steve jobs knew nothing and fred anderson and nancy were entirely responsible is ridiculous. the company has confirmed that jobs himself was awarded back dated options that carried a full state in october 2001. according to apple s own report to the fcc, the award was improperly reported as occurring in a special board meeting, when in fact, such a board meeting did not occur. a fictitious board meeting that awarded jobs 7.5 million options. just what was going on? at first, all fingers pointed to another member of the apple comeback team, general council nancy hyman who certified the minutes of the phone and board meeting. like anderson, she would settle with the fcc without admitting or denying guilt, but her silence raised questions, would she have just decided on her own to fake a board meeting to
from 3.4% to 6.8%. and congress can do something right now to stop this. but instead, they re bickering. republicans say the market should set interest rates, while democrats argue students need more protection. the two republican proposals one from the house and one from the senate are worse than nothing. reporter: if congress fails to come to an agreement, officials say the average student s post college bill will be $2,600 more. that s a major concern to studentses like anderson. i think that every other american student feels the same way. we just want to be able to go to school. we want to be able to access the american dream. the way to do that is afford an education. we cannot afford it with rates doubling. reporter: now, it s still unclear if even that proposal vote can pass today. if it fails that could open up
i didn t want date on some of those personality stories you reported on the first two weeks, how some of those people sanjay, you performed surgery on some of them, as all of our viewers will recall. no, i have. like anderson, i couldn t stop thinking about some of this, even when we went home for a few days. there was a 12-year-old girl who i performed surgery on. i was worried about her for some time, certainly before the operation. the operation went well, but, you know, it s one of these silt ways we hear over and over again, was she an orphan? where would she go after she recovered? but interestingly enough i don t even know if i told you, but viewers were watching from canada, and one of the viewers turned out to be her aunt, and they actually are back in touch. the aunt was able to get ahold of kimberly s father, and hopefully they ll be reunited this week. so that was a good story, and hopefully a positive outcome for
