Eggs P. I don't want to focus on this case and personalise it or make wrongful judgements. However you assume that any company at the centre of a "problem" would necessarily want to keep its doors closed and stop information leaking that might divert, even a little bit, the attention from the corporate office/rs. I AM NOT saying this is the case here.
Look to motives. Why do many people post many messages on PPRUNE... what do they hope to achieve by doing. That's life sadly.
