Yahoo trying to conceal evidence, lawyer says
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Yahoo Inc. is trying to "whitewash embarrassing documents" from an investor lawsuit that accuses the Sunnyvale, Calif., Web portal of improperly rejecting a takeover bid by Microsoft, an attorney representing two Detroit pension funds complained Friday.
In a letter to the judge handling the suit, the lawyer said that the Sunnyvale company's redaction of large parts of the case is intended to hide evidence that could bolster an effort launched this week by investor activist Carl Icahn to oust Yahoo's board.
