They'd lock up the execs for "embezzlement".
I could tell you a story about this squeaky clean guy I know who's in prison for fraud, because he refused to comply with a secret court order... but I can't, because I don't want to join him.
I could tell you another story about a barrister I know who had his career destroyed and his wife "suicided" for refusing to do certain things around a trial in the UK - but again, I fear repercussions should I say anything.
In fact, this is probably too much.
- cryoshon 12y agoYou seem to have an inside perspective. Care to share more?
- madaxe_again 12y agoNot really, sorry. I mean, yes, desperately, but I fear repercussions for the individuals concerned, myself, their families, etc. Suffice to say that of what you read in the press about the misdoings of important individual X should be taken with a heaping of salt and a cynical eye. We live in the age of assassination without murder.
- cryoshon 12y agoWhat about over Tor?
- madaxe_again 12y agoNay. It isn't really about me, or what I communicate, rather that by discussing the detail it'd make it abundantly clear who I'm talking about - and I do not want to enhance either of their miseries. Additionally, merely by dint of me being able to know these things about these people it would make clear who I am, as I dare say there are a limited number of folks who have these two in their graph, and an even more limited number who are publicly anti-establishment, and thus potentially negate my ability to do anything positive about this. Sorry. If I do opt to go public with these tales it'll be via the Grauniad or somesuch, as only with significant clout, correlation and voice will there be any impact - otherwise it'll just be reburied in disinformation.
