Oh!, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

It reminds me of a story that occurred in my neck of the woods not too long ago.

Charles Wang, the founder and former CEO of Computer Associates (now known as CA) never used e-mail. He was the mastermind behind a billion dollar fraud that made him a very wealthy man.

Meanwhile, his minions (including Sanjay Kumar) spilled their guts (via e-mail) and were destroyed by the Feds.

Lesson learned.

Which is why it's best to be honest.

Interesting. I worked for CA in the late 80's and knew both of them. I recall that Wang always carried around a paper notebook in which he wrote all his notes.
