Following in the Attorney General crusading footsteps of now-governor Eliot Spitzer, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo filed suit against Dell Computer yesterday.
The suit alleges that Dell and its financial subsidiary engage in "fraud, false advertising and deceptive business practices". To be fair to Cuomo's and his office, no press release was issued and few, if any, quotes are being released.
The suit, filed in a state court in Albany, not only seeks damages for consumers, but a $25,000 payment to New York for each incident and other costs.
Dell has been rocked hard lately and is also undergoing an unrelated SEC investigation.
