The very first post of TFA lays out that they've been sending emergency-level alerts for a while (aside from that being a year-long issue):
> 4 meetings, 124 emails, and two phone calls a day for the last 14 days have warned them of this.
There's only so much you can do.

From the thread legal (and / or compliance) is the setter of the issue, and was well aware that it would cause issues (for a minority), but they were not in charge of resolution. And from downthread posts, they likely extensively documented their warnings:
> oh I’m absolutely backing the horse with the 3 miles of email threads proving this
And methinks legal and compliance had very much planned for the issue coming to a head, because they were getting fed up with being blow off, and having to shoulder the legal or regulatory risk.
- ChickenNugger 4y agoI think this is exactly it. A year to make fixes and nothing was done? Legal is like, "We warned you every way we possibly could have." "two phone calls a day for 14 days" is far from insufficient notice, to say nothing of the rest.
- spoils19 4y agoI disagree. In conservative companies, it would be common to meet in person and give a firm handshake, before taking out the required documents from a briefcase. It's sad to see this tradition evaporate.
- somerandomqaguy 4y agoI'm not sorry to see it go. Half the time the people in the meeting forget what was decided on because it's one of a thousand other things they had a meeting about and no one we wrote anything down. There's value in face to face, but not when it's a wide reaching announcement like this.
