Well, the CFAA has a handy little "choose your own adventure" like section listing the various naughty activities, where you could be guilty of a.2.B or a.7.A, etc. Which combo do you think Lenovo is guilty of?
Is there any question as to what Lenovo actually did, are they denying they exceeded their authorisation in accessing computers and MitM-ing things like bank transactions? If the facts aren't in dispute there then surely the only thing the court would need to do is work out how long the directors who authorised/oversaw [or negligently didn't oversee] this are going to be put in prison for.
