Kirk, I agree with you although I guess BB Sr. is trying to protect those who paid for the event (money went to charity, no?) from thinking that this info would be distributed freely. In any event, no "gold nuggets", just basic sound advice IMO....

Kirk: As we saw in the case of Princess Diana, actions of the papparazzi can result in unintended negative consequences that effect a lot of people.

Another person familiar with the incident said the missing computer contained code-word information, a classification higher than top secret, including sensitive intelligence information and plans to re-enter the market at some undisclosed date in the future.
