Dragon's actually been around since 1982 (39 years). Sad story about the founders, Janet and Jim Baker, though.

The Bakers sued Goldman Sachs for negligence, intentional misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty, which in January 2013 led to a 23-day trial in Boston. The jury cleared Goldman Sachs of all charges.
