Personally, I find it troubling that - evidently - it's a crime to destroy personal property, whether individual or corporate. The assertion of the government is, apparently, that all property is ultimately theirs. That concept may not bother you, but it frightens me. In addition, fellow Libertarians have raised issues questioning the logic of this and similar cases. Specifically: as Quattrone was never charged - or convicted - of a crime (no charges were ever brought regarding the so-called "kickbacks," a regulatory issue which ultimately resulted in an AWC) the idea of a 'cover up' certainly seems disingenuous. Indeed, almost laughable: how, exactly, does one 'obstruct' justice when criminal charges haven't been brought, and the disputed infraction has already been settled? Lastly, I note that in most large securities firms, there is a signature automatically affixed to outgoing email messages reminding users of the legal- and compliance-driven confidentiality and document retention policies in place. In saying that it was "time to clean up" those files, Quattrone was referring to a firm policy, not one of his personal making. But, here we are. Sadly, that's justice in America today. LPS5
