There has been a lot of grieving in this forum over the idea of
disciplinary action against Randy Borow.  Here is another example of a
serious indiscretion by an employee.  I wonder about the current state
of that employee's career.

The relevant differences are that Randy involved his employer in a
breaking of the law while the one that Toby mentions was only a
serious embarrassment.
