Channel Register: Lawyer admits tampering in MSN, Best Buy case
A Best Buy lawyer has admitted to falsifying court documents in the longstanding racketeering case against Microsoft and Best Buy, which recently reached a Superior Court in Seattle.
A nationwide class-action suit, filed in 2003, accuses the two companies of conspiring to secretly register thousands of Best Buy customers for Microsoft’s MSN online service.
As reported by the Associated Press, a lawyer with the Minneapolis firm representing Best Buy admitted to altering emails and a paper memo before turning them over to the suit's plaintiffs - though he claims to have acted alone, without the knowledge of either Best Buy or his firm.

Of course, Best Buy has never been caught doing anything underhanded before, so the notion that their attorney was acting on his own is entirely plausible (that was sarcasm, right there).
There's really nothing I can add to this that would spin it any worse for Best Buy, so I'll just leave it alone for now.

I wonder if Best Buy's attorney purchased the extended warranty when he receieved his law degree?
