Or could it be that they were sensitive to the fact that only a few days before, someone pilfered a financial web page and printed information about a stock that sent it soaring before the plot was uncovered. Should, or should not, have that person been arrested and fired from their job? No matter whether anyone lost money on this, first, the timing after this incident just mentioned was incredibly ill considered and risky, and, second, people and organizations get equally or more upset when they are made to look like fools as compared to when they lose cash.
