I really don't believe it would be possible to "drop the ball" on something like this. They knew from the start this could destroy their business, they are working with the police, they won't just "forget" the victim. Now, if they tried to wash their hands by handing it over to their lawyer to "solve", that might be different, but still reprehensible.
