ormation for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. It’s easy for puter crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the puter is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing remendation from his former employers.
