It doesn't need to be fear, perhaps they thought it's better not to put Ron in a bad position, he would have to act or risk getting caught with pants down in his knees.Quote:

One could suspect that if Ron found out about the documents, he would have fired whoever was involved on the spot.Quote:

If you steal something and had no intention of using it at your place of work (why else would you copy it at a shop in the high street) then you are not likely to go up to your work mates and say "Oi, you'll never guess what I've got my hands on!"
He was not going to copy them, he wanted those that were on paper to be transfered in digital format and I suppose he didn't have the time to do it himself (remember they say something about 700+ pages!).Quote:

But that's not the FIA's problem. They want to know why Ron did nothing when supposedly his employees had and knew about the documents since March. Coughlan's affidavit gave the FIA many infos about the issue and Ron will have to explain everything now.
Amazing. McLaren have a state of the art headquarters, but can't afford to hire secretaries, so their head engineers had to make all the paperwork themselves.Quote:

Coughlan has demonstrate he's an unloyal employee as he was thinking of leaving McLaren to Honda (taking some information with him at the same time). If he appears as the only guilty, doing that on his own benefit (with Stepney from the other side), he would never get a job at Honda, and he would never get a job anywhere else, having to face some years in jail.Quote:

Not really!! If the firm has the software Cyberscrub, which I have, they can erase all traces of anything deleted from their files and/or online evidence beyond any recovery procedure. Here's the link: http://www.cyberscrub.com/index.phpQuote:

Of course, Stepney and Coughlan are now worthless, so Honda will get a real bargain!
So you think ;)Quote:
