People are pitching the gag order theory a lot but would they be legally able to not only flat out deny the events but also that they’re under any gag order?

- ethbro 8y agoThe only gag order version that makes sense is "An incredibly small number of people at the companies were aware of this, and they've been lying to their own company." It's possible... but that starts to be fairly chilling and I can't see them being employed after this shakes out if it's true.

- taviso 8y agoAs far as I'm aware, legal experts agree there is no way to compel you to lie. Apple's general counsel has said on the record he doesn't know what Bloomberg are talking about, so how would they even verify this gag order was proper? https://twitter.com/dnvolz/status/1048283980913684480 https://twitter.com/dnvolz/status/1048283980913684480 Note that he volunteered to be on the record, he could have said that off the record or made no comment at all.
