My sincere gratitude to those who did the right thing and had the courage to do so.
Unlike in the past, stuff like this can't be ignored in the information age. Whether it's this or ANYTHING else, it stays on record somewhere forever and isn't all that hard to get to by anyone anywhere. Shredders do little anymore; no matter what it is if the stuff's written down it's out there somewhere.
There are significant differences in how the sins of omission vice comission are weighted; at least in the court of pulbic opinion and real courts and regulatory bodies everywhere. If you know bank robbery is a crime and continue to do it it's worse than if you didn't and didn't.
So's a head in the sand approach would be fraught with peril and no one is too daft not to understand that.
