re: I think it obvious that VISA could be held liable for anything an employee did on company time.

No matter what a court might say, I don't think a company should be held liable for the unforeseeable actions of an employee. He was misusing company time, in effect, stealing from his employer, using company time and resources to pursue his own personal agenda.

Of course, in civil law things get weird. Remember the shootings at the Atlanta daytrading firms? Relative of one of the victims is suing one of the firms, claiming they shouldn't have let the guy trade - they should have foreseen he'd freak out if he lost his money.

...Mezz - When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
