Nobody in that whole organization thought 'maybe this is illegal, we should take a look."?

The answer they got from legal is guaranteed to be: 'there doesn't appear to be a law against it - proceed.'

It's the same answers in the financial world. I've heard is out of the mouths of fund managers and risk managers - they wink and nod. Slimy.

There is a moral gut reaction to something not being the right thing to do - yet they go ahead and do it be hasn't been codified into law.

Fuck these people. They will cheat you out of everything.
