The lawyers eventually determined that Campbell didn't need to resign from the board but that he should step aside as co-lead director.

The SEC investigation ended up going nowhere, and the board circled the wagons to protect Jobs from calls that he release more information.

but he was adamant that he didn't want his privacy invaded. His wishes should be respected."

When I asked Gore whether the board should have been more forthcoming at the beginning of 2009,
我問戈爾，2009年初董事會是否應該提供更多信息，
when Jobs's health issues were far worse than shareholders were led to believe, he replied,
當時喬布斯的健康問題比股東們被誤導去相信的狀況要嚴重得多，他回答說，
"We hired outside counsel to do a review of what the law required and what the best practices were, and we handled it all by the book.
“我們聘請了外部律師去研究法律規定和最佳做法，然后我們完全是按章行事。
