> Larry Ellison owned 40% of NetSuite when it was purchased at a very high price. He effectively ran both sides of the deal (between oracle and NetSuite) and funneled shareholder money into his own pockets via the transaction. Allegedly.

It's very similar to what happened with HP and Autonomy.

I didn’t know that. More details please.

I briefly used Autonomy software almost twenty years ago so I followed the big bucks acquisition with some interest.
