>This is a civil matter. My tax dollars should not pay for a criminal lawsuit. Screw that.
So if an aggrieved ex employee does enough damage that the company has insufficient resources to sue, or has enough resources themselves to make that difficult, it's all good?
Individuals and companies should not be vulnerable to attacks like this based on their resources. It's in all our interests to ensure this sort if activity is dealt with severely because we are all vulnerable. Mutual defence in the form of criminal prosecution of offenders is the way they go IMHO.
Absolutely. Let's deal with it severely. Let's put the CEO and the board behind bars. I don't see how verelox is a victim. It is like saying a police officer who leaves his keys in the patrol car is a victim when someone takes of with the patrol car. The patrol car isn't his! Similarly, the data isn't verelox's!
Let's be practical. What is our end goal? Is it vengeance or is it prevention? If it is the latter, our actions must not be centered on retribution but rather on logic and reasoning. We should ask what can we do to prevent this from happening again? Throwing someone in prison is not the answer IMO.
