Timothy Block, a lawyer for Best Buy, has admitted to falsifying documents for Best Buy in a lawsuit filed against the company. Block admitted to altering emails along with a memo before handing the items over to plaintiffs.

The lawsuit was originally filed against Best Buy by Samuel Kim in 2003. It accuses Best Buy and Microsoft of running a scam in which Best Buy signed up customers for MSN Internet access without their consent between 1999 and 2003. Ultimately, the credit cards of Best Buy customers were charged for services they never signed up for. Kim accuses Best Buy and Microsoft of working together on this scam, and says that Best Buy received a cut for each person it registered with the service. The scam is said to have affected 100,000 people.

Best Buy has had past history of not cooperating with courts in handing over papers. Timothy Block's law firm has requested to be removed from the case, the judge will rule June 22 whether to allow them to withdraw.
