I may have mis-read the point you were trying to make. "This is all because he erased logs when requested. I absolutely do not believe he would ever do anything illegal if that were clear to him at the time that it was illegal" I can appreciate your for support him as a friend and stand-up guy but my own personal experience is that the above is not "I was just following orders" kind of stuff. The web biz isn't yet mature enough to have codified rules, like accountants do with CPA status. When it does, erasing site logs will be as much of huge "no-no" as erasing book entries. From my POV, cooking site logs is the same as an accountant cooking books. It's tampering of significant evidence, and there shouldn't be any ambiguity as to whether it's absolutely wrong. If someone requests it, you walk away. I know several accountants who have walked away from similar requests. They know their career is on the line. Though he's lost a lot in this debacle, he's getting out pretty lucky.
