For example, “…Paul E Weaver (Director of Idearc) and Allen Hsieh (CFO of InfoSpace) can both be linked to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Weaver spent 30 years with the company and was Vice-Chairman, and Hsieh for 15 years, serving as a Partner, so it is highly probable that the two are well acquainted.” Could these connections have played any role in the deal? http://www.newsvisual.com/newsvisual/2007/09/idearc-and-info.html
