It was an innocuous line in the SEC filings of a company:
"Mr. Thompson holds a Bachelor’s degree in accounting and computer science from Stonehill College."
Within which company would this eventually lead to turmoil at the very top?
[+ Show Answer]
Yahoo!.
Scott Thompson, who became CEO in early 2012, was forced to resign after a Yahoo! investor discovered that Thomspon did not have a computer science degree. The addition to his CV seems to have been an inadvertent mistake, but ended up costing Thompson his job.
