Report: Computer in H-P Case Smashed to Bits

Via CNN/Money.

A Colorado man suspected of surreptitiously obtaining telephone numbers on behalf of Hewlett-Packard told an investigator last week that he had destroyed his computer, according to a published report.

The Wall Street Journal reports that if that is true, the destruction of the computer could be a setback for California authorities who are looking into whether HP's probe of leaks from its boardroom violated any laws.

The newspaper reported that the man, identified as Bryan Wagner, 29, of Denver, told the investigator from the California Attorney General's office he had demolished his computer with a hammer and disposed of it after receiving a tip from a relative that he might be caught up in a criminal probe.

"Not erased the hard drive," a source familiar with the investigation told the Journal. "Destroyed it."
