The FBI File on Steve Jobs – (PDF/EPUB Version)

The “unflattering” report by the FBI on its extensive background investigation of the Apple founder (The Washington Post). Steven Paul Jobs (1955–2011) was a founder and leader of Apple Inc. (formerly Apple Computer Inc.) and one of the world’s most successful businessmen. In 1991, Jobs was considered for an appointed position on the U.S. President’s Export Council—a position he accepted after the FBI performed an extensive background check totaling 191 pages. This release consists of the FBI’s 1991 background investigation of Jobs for that position and a 1985 investigation of a bomb threat against Apple. Declassified for the first time in February 2012, it includes interviews with friends and family members; stories of drug use; and allegations against his moral character. Anyone with an interest in one of America’s greatest entrepreneurs will find this book revealing, along with those fascinated by the work of federal law enforcement and national security.
