Kind of interesting, too, that the original article talks about the backdated options being granted to "employees", while from your links, it appears that this was very much a thing for executives only.

  An executive risking jail time to help employees out does not sound that plausible, to be honest. Now an executive risking jail time to enrich themselves? Now we’re talking.
