Sony have been naughty

It seems Sony could use a new Iron Chef, because the one they had cooking the books failed.
Sony have been found guilty of knowingly hiding millions of dollars in revenue over a five year period. They've been
fined 4.5 billion yen. (Which may or may not be $40 million, depending on the currency conversion you use). They also
have to pay back-taxes.
Put this with the news that Sony will lose about
$95 per PS3, and Sony may have to tighten their
belts just a little. Maybe only buy four Learjets instead of five.

Hey Henrich, there are plenty of decaffinated brands of coffee on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.

It will actually be more than $95 lost per system, because the store has to make a little off the system.

I can't find news on this anywhere else. Given the bad spelling and lack of substance in that article, I'd like to have some sort of independent confirmation for this news.

tpp, here's confirmation from a press release from 6/29: http://i-newswire.com/goprint34353.html
I think the link Joystiq gave is enough though it surprises me that so many news organizations are ignoring this. I guess $40 million dollars isn't such a big deal. I'm not a businessman so how should I know?
