Japan's Disgraced Internet Guru Horie Indicted

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Takafumi Horie, the flamboyant founder of Japanese Internet firm Livedoor, was indicted with three associates for alleged securities fraud to cap a spectacular fall from grace.

Horie, 33, who just a month ago was one of Japan's most high-profile business leaders, along with his fellow former executives each risk five years in prison and fines of up to five million yen (42,500 dollars).
