>> its probably against the law for him to outright lie about the situation in the eyes of the SEC
Didn't some leaked documents show that a 'shadow' judicial status has been created ( under post 9/11 histeria ) where, in the interest of national security, firms are allowed and even required to lie about things?
- losvedir 8y agoNo.
- ColanR 8y agoDo you remember what those documents were, or how they might be found online? (being curious, not confrontational)
- kylel 8y agoSee the wiki page for the FISA court [0] I haven’t read anything that says people/companies must lie, but I have read that they cannot divulge information due to gag orders.

- ColanR 8y agoThanks for the sources. I've definitely seen/know of the gag order business. It was the suggested extension to that I'm curious about ("firms are allowed and even required to lie about things").
- lawnchair_larry 8y agoNope.
