Honest people do not write software to defraud investors. Despite the story, they had no stroke of conscience convincing them to leave. You would never tell a criminal organization that you're going to expose them unless you're blackmailing them; there would be no benefit. These guys are con artists.
I think an honest, rational person would contact the FBI in private and seek their counsel on how to proceed.
- ejames 17y agoYeah, my questions don't really apply to the pair in the story; they knew from the beginning that the software was for fraudulent purposes, and simply lost their nerve after a while, then got arrested anyway on charges of conspiracy. Getting cold feet after the crime has been committed does not earn you leniency. I suppose I'm thinking of it more along the lines of, say, the person in the next cubicle/department over who knows about such software and wonders what to do about it. Contacting the FBI and asking the professionals what to do is the most obviously correct path. It's just a matter of curiosity that I wonder what they would say, and whether the advice would work.
