I'm curious what this crowd thinks is an appropriate punishment here. No priors, found guilty, caused some lost revenue (which I have to admit doesn't mean you actually lost revenue). So, should they even be sent to jail? House arrest? Or do we just want consistency in punishments?

This is really well executed, too bad he didn't know enough to protect his identity.

Still, so much for that reduced cost of labor.

If more people reacted like this companies wouldn't be so fast to lay people off

Good. Some one should sponsor and hire this guy.

I imagine you must be quite skilled to be able to manage your whole-ass company (and run their systems into the ground). So it shouldn't be a problem to get another job after being fired.

Why fuck with your future, just because of your own ego and a drive for revenge? That guy must've watched too many animes.

Because the rich and elite are powerful because people fear them.

Show them we aren't afraid. Thus guy will vs hired in no time
