Only the attorney for the Locateplus ex-CFO seems to have shown any interest in this history. He's filed numerous pleadings in the criminal case seeking various forms of relief, all pretty much unsuccessful.
One issue is that none of this stuff has any bearing on the guilt or otherwise of the ex-CFO - maybe some other people should have been charged as well, and maybe O'Riordan got off lightly, but so what?
The prosecution says there was no taint; none of the team investigating and prosecuting the ex-CFO were involved in any of this stuff; the attorney is just trying to muddy the waters.
The attorney hasn't been able to put forward specific, concrete allegations of any taint, just a picture. There is nothing anywhere to suggest that the ex-CFO was wrongly charged, set up, made a pigeon of etc etc.
Another issue is that this attorney can be a bit ummm hysterical. He's the guy who filed a motion for the abolition of SOX executive certifications on 5th amendment grounds: public company execs as a group are largely shady and forcing them to incriminate themselves is a 5th amendment violation. Riiiight ...
Maybe the SEC will go deeper into things in the civil case once the ex-CEO/ex-CFO trial is complete later this year & the civil stay is lifted. Not holding my breath for that, but there does seem to be a fresh new team at Boston SEC.
