Horie slams decision
Horie is obviously not happy with the decision, and has spoken publicly on TV Asahi.
“I did not intentionally attempt to pad earnings, and there was no false accounting. I do not accept the court’s verdict. I have stepped down as Livedoor president, I lost my position and my salary, and I was incarcerated. I believe I have lived up to my management responsibilities, he said. To apologize . . . would be inconsistent with my assertions.”
