Using a thief to catch thieves?

[al Roumi]

That thief is the best thief one can find. If government could employ thieves like those, I wouldn't mind there being a business that dedicates itself to tracking down tax evaders and selling that information to governments. It would make people think twice before comitting tax evasion, that's for sure.

What's funny about this is that were the disk freely given to the Govt, e.g by an investigative journalist, they would not hesitate to use it. Paying for the service of hacking an HSBC server is presumably what causes the sticking point. Fool of a person who thought they could sell the disc...

Not really a thief, it seems to be more of a mole within the bank who is willing to sell the info for some back-pocket.

Well he's likely to be out of a job very soon, if not already.

That is true. The price of being a mole.
