Read All 191 Pages of Steve Jobs' FBI File
The FBI has released Steve Jobs' complete FBI File.
Steve Jobs, who died last October after a battle with cancer, was known most for his genius work in cofounding and being CEO of Apple. However, the FBI casts a different perspective on Jobs.
The file, embedded below, contains commentary on Jobs’ marijuana and LSD use, especially during the 1960s and 1970s, his ability to “distort reality,” and what the Bureau called his “questionable morality.” At least one interview stated that Jobs had “basically abandoned” his daughter and the girl’s mother, a onetime girlfriend of Jobs.
According to VentureBeat, the interviews used in the report were gathered while Jobs was being considered for an official government position as part of George H.W. Bush’s administration in 1991. At the time, Jobs was working at NeXT, a computer company he co-founded after being ousted from Apple.
The file also discusses a 1984 class action lawsuit against Apple and a 1985 bomb threat against Jobs himself.
