Phil was never charged, indicted, sued, or anything else. He was =
*investigated*. He was investigated for export violations, not for =
anything else. Being investigated is bad enough, but that's what =
happened. The government dropped the investigation in early 1996.

a complaint from RSADSI that Phil and team violated export control. As =
Phill noted, there was the secondary issue of the dispute over the RSA =
patent license, but that was a separate issue. RSADSI filed the =
complaint with the government that started the investigation.
