InfoWorld | at | by Mike
David M. Colburn, head of America Online's (AOL) business affairs unit, left the company Friday amid dual government investigations into whether the company fudged its earnings results through a series of unconventional deals, AOL Time Warner (AOLTW) confirmed Wednesday. A spokeswoman for the parent company declined to comment on whether Colburn quit or was fired. News of Colburn's departure comes as the deadline for executives to sign off on their latest quarterly earnings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rapidly approaches.
