    They have security departments filled with normal people who the execs couldn’t trust to do something like this

    So huge multi-billion corporations wouldn’t hire the best of the best, when it comes to security?

    That’s movie stuff

    Life imitates art.

    Just the bottom line this, we’re not going to agree, but you’d have to be pretty naive to think that those kind of things, with billions of dollars and economies hanging in the balance, doesn’t really happen.

    Unfortunately.

      Life imitates art in some ways, but people getting shot in the shoulder still have fucked up shoulders and often die, no matter how much movies want you to believe that it’s a wound you can just shrug off.

      Similarly, executives make business decisions that result in thousands of people dying. But, executives in multi-billion dollar companies don’t contract out to hitmen to murder people who hurt their companies. That’s just movie stuff, and you’re naive to think it happens in reality.

        And you know this how?

          Common sense? The lack of historical precedent? The fact I can watch movies and be aware that they don’t represent reality?

            So you pulled it out of your ass.

            Have a nice day.

              I made a decision based on reality. I didn’t decide someone had hired a hitman to kill a whistleblower because it seemed realistic to me based on watching too many movies. Believing that is also “pulling it out of your ass”, but without any basis in actual reality.
