#1 Is this a much needed house cleaning or is it an ominous purge? How can we tell the difference?

#3 That's nothing. We could find half that many corrupt officials just in the US Congress.

#5 I remember the story of a large corporate businessman who quit because of stress, then decided to start a bagel delivery service to large corporate businesses.

He worked on the honor payment system, and soon noted that companies varied considerably in honesty. So in one of the really dishonest companies, he put up a hidden camera, to video employees who were not paying.

When he showed it to the personnel director, the man noted a high correlation between those who stole bagels and those who were suspected of dishonesty on the job. With bagel theft as evidence, they were fired, and the company noted a sharp drop in internal, much more serious, theft, amounting to thousands of dollars.

So the bagel salesman became a security consultant, using bagels as a means to purge dishonest employees. If they would steal his bagels, they were likely to steal other things as well.
