The FBI today released its 191-page file on the late Apple founder Steve Jobs, which includes comments from former friends and associates, including one source who describes him as "a deceptive individual who is not completely forthright and honest."
The FBI, which released the file under a Freedom of Information Act request, gathered the material in a background investigation of Jobs in 1991 as President George H. W. Bush was considering his possible appointment to the U.S. Export Council. In the end, the appointment was never made.
Jobs died in October after a long bout with pancreatic cancer.
