    Illegally obtained? Bah!

    Any employee should be obligated to report any criminal activity his company is involved in. Buy it, then give the guy a medal.

    Loyalty ends when there's a crime involved. And yes, tax evasion is a crime.

    "sell for 2.5 million" is not the same as "report".

    It can't be used legally it concerns private information of citizens, their address, where they work, it was illegally obtained, now it isn't about law but about the money of course, so privacy laws step aside.
