Hewlett Packard's acquisition of Autonomy in 2011 for $11 billion has come under legal scrutiny more than a decade later. The trial aims to determine if the deal was an illegal rip-off or merely a case of botched management. This acquisition, which has significantly impacted HP's reputation, is being revisited in court, with potential legal consequences for the involved executives, including a possible 20-year jail term. The case also highlights the slow pace of justice in comparison to other high-profile cases.
