Pentagon file on Steve Jobs reveals 1975 arrest over speeding ticket - Page 2

This is very, very upsetting. I feel it should have been Steve Jobs' fiduciary duty to disclosed such a horrible and heinous offense when he returned and assumed the role of CEO. If I would have known of this infraction I would never have invested in AAPL back in the '90's when it was @ $4.25 a share......effectively risking my hard-earned money on some criminal.

You could also buy a new Porsche for $20,000. And a Datsun 240Z for about $5000.

Isn't there a difference between being in police custody and bing under arrest? 

 

Also - in my opinion - there is a huge difference between being held as a result of a bench warranty for failure to pay a parking ticket compared to say oh I dunno, a murder charge, or selling drugs outside the school yard.

That's actually not tracking inflation.

"What cost $50 in 1973 would cost $242.58 in 2010." http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi

I backdated 2 years on the lead-in because 2011 and 2012 numbers aren't in this calculator.

A different calculator:

$50 in 1975 has the same buying power as: $213.83 in 2012

About the tickets, as a heads up a 11+ mph over ticket is $225 with another $250 in administrative charges (supposedly to pay the clerks for filing the papers). A speeding ticket in CA is now between $450-$500.

Back on topic, I agree, this isn't really needed information about Steve Jobs.

So, did the DoD grant him top secret clearance or not?

A pointless article. It is a bit of an eye opener though.

 

As a citizen of the Republic of Ireland I feel a little disturbed at this invasion of privacy by the state. Making you sign a confessional statement is a little too Orwellian to be real. Its reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition. Quite scary actually.

If you work in national security, your life is laid bare. Our would you prefer radical pan-nationalists or subversive anti-patriots getting jobs in our most important government departments?
