One who lack the morality will most likely end up in Bob Hansen's position. Bob may started out as an ordinary web-master, but he was drawn into "the circus" by greed and by the color of money. Can someone here truly tell me, that Bob did not know Anthony is a shady and untrustworthy character? Can someone here tell me, that when Bob Hansen pushed the button to erase the logs, he did not know what and why he was doing it? Can someone here also tell me, that Bob did not used the inside tipped off info to trade and profit with Tony regarding NSOL or FCOR? I disagree with many posters here that Bob Hansen is a victim in this case. He committed a crime, he paid the price. He should be thankful the government offered him to cooperate.

I know another guy who joined that same circus briefly but figured out in about 30-60 days what was going on and left quickly. You know him, too, I know. Yes, a certain empathy can be felt for Hansen with the new home, new baby, career stuff. And he may well be a really nice guy. But erasing logs of that sort with that kind of content, would be obvious that we're not just "making hard-drive space". He got really lucky in this instance, because sometimes when you do really stupid things, life can be much less forgiving than just losing money. "I turned down an offer in 1999 to be part of the circus and thank my lucky stars that my gut took me the right way then."
