Then imagine that law enforcement unilaterally escalated to the point that a bomb squad was called in.” Would blocking off streets and evacuating a nearby theater really be necessary if all you had done was to reveal some strange things going on inside the corporation where you had been employed? The first sentence above is not the beginning of some contemporary spy novel; It is a Tweet from former Google employee, Zach Vorhies,...

Snake oil salesmen of the 19th Century used to comb the countryside, selling their remedies to unsuspecting consumers hoping for a cure, or at least a quick fix, for their ailments. Without much more than golden words out of the silver-tongued salesmen, they set alluring traps for their artful chicanery. Weeks later, those sold a bill of goods by the salesmen’s trickery were worse for the wear, the only benefit going to the deceptive salesmen - now long gone - with the victim’s hard earned gold in their pockets.
