Nice to see CS claiming that they ‘immediately informed’ the authorities, when in fact CS hadn’t any idea what was going on, and had to be told by the SEC.

Still, secret squirrel info is part of the game. I sit here in the knowledge that the employer of someone I know well is up for sale, which may result in their losing their job. Should I tell them? No, because it’s illegal. Do I want to tell them? Yes. It’s all down to what my MBA ethics professor would call (with an absurdly overdone French accent) one’s ‘moral compass’.
