CBS Corp. executives are being accused of destroying evidence in a corporate battle with the family of billionaire Sumner Redstone for control of the media company by using self-destructing texts to communicate.
Officials of Redstone’s National Amusements Inc. allege in a Delaware Chancery Court filing that “relevant evidence has already been destroyed” through CBS’s executives use of TigerText, an iPhone application that can delete messages immediately after being read.
