Actually, after reading more about the subject, it seems that Apoteker actually was fooled. The due diligence was done by KPMG ( and Deloitte ), both very big customers of Autonomy. Again, can't tell too much, but a lot of gratuities went beween them at some point. On a side note, Apoteker did a lot of unhealthy stuff for HP, like webOS, PC division are one of the biggest. So adding Autonomy bluff on the list seems natural. Nice for him, he got about $25m in compensations. So, no, money is not a measure of intelligence, but good lawyers ;-).
