Mark Hurd was a lying SOB at HP. He lied to Congress about the Board leaks. He had a steel trap mind and remembered every detail of everything at HP. When Congress asked about his knowledge of the investigation of the leaks, he said"I can't remember...it was not my finest hour". Total lies!!!! He knew everything! After those lies, he proceeded to fire everyone involved that knew about his lies!!!! The Board finally fired him shortly after that for cheating on his expense reports to coverup a sexual relationship he tried to have (she rebutted him!) Regarding his death, what goes around comes around!!!!
