A new player has surfaced in Apple's stock options mess: a former in-house lawyer who filled out the paperwork on a 2001 option award to CEO Steve Jobs that has grown infamous since Apple acknowledged that the grant's value was artificially pumped up via fabricated meeting minutes. That since-fired lawyer is a central figure in the Apple probe, both as a potential defendant in a fraud case and as someone who could tell the government who at the company knew about backdating and its implications.

Steve Jobs is an ideas guy. He wears jeans, grows beards and orates to cheering throngs at events like this week’s MacWorld conference.
Jobs’ biographers say evidence indicates that he’s a pescetarian. He went to India. He takes only $1 a year in salary. And he leaves it up to other people to award him hugely valuable piles of stock in Apple Computer, where he’s the CEO.
