The Resignation of US Attorney Kevin Ryan: What it Could Mean for Apple

So maybe Apple gets lucky -- again...  Via The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, naturally. 

Kevin Ryan stepped down today as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California. That could potentially be relevant to Apple, because Ryan has led the government's effort to prosecute Silicon Valley companies on options-related transgressions, such as backdating. Last July, Ryan brought the first backdating indictment, against two former Brocade Communications executives. Just around that time, he also created a backdating task force . And sources say it is his office that is scrutinizing Apple's books, as well.
