    “it takes a rogue to catch a thief”

    I hope these "whistleblowers" (read: snitches) are getting a big payday for selling out their clients. I sure as hell won't have anything to do with any company that anything to do with them. These people took an oath, or at least made a promise to work in their clients' best interest. What...
