    But, executives in multi-billion dollar companies don’t contract out to hitmen to murder people who hurt their companies.

    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.
