So... the FBI threatened and coerced the CEO of the telco company to spy on all of the phone company's users illegally. Seems pretty similar to what they tried to do to the Qwest Chairman and CEO Joseph P. Nacchio. But he refused and they put him in prison for years on trumped up inside trading charges initiated by the FBI intentionally having the government drop Qwest contracts and accusing Nacchio of knowing about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Nacchio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Nacchio The FBI isn't completely just a bunch of unethical criminals but the bad apples do seem more common than the good ones. In this article/transcript they even admit to commiting securities fraud themselves.
