Oh yes. But I have a feeling that Mr. Howard will become a very, very wealthy man before we see any big suits at Viacom get dragged into the spotlight.
Of the people taking the hit, as I recall e-mails released by the Thorneburg whitewash crew, Howard was the only one who even attempted to discover what the truth was or even discuss retraction.
This story has the potential to get juicy as hell, but Moonves and Redstone will give away lots and lots of stockholders money to keep it from getting out.
No doubt, but don't forget there is another whole Army of lawyers just waiting in the wings to begin a shareholder's suit the minute this happens!
