You don't get it do you? The CFO may very well have been performing his "normal" function perfectly fine. What he was fired for was negotiating deals that would line his own pockets instead of returniong these gains to the investors who had financed the company. Don't like it, don't steal from your investors.

I don't think you read my post. It doesn't matter what the CFO was doing. Evidence of any wrongdoing should have been taken to the CEO or the board. This little prank by IT is totally unacceptable in any professional enviroment.

It sounds like a privately held company so the board would have more discretion about what kind of punishment to hand out to the employees in question than a public company might. Letting them off, albeit preferably scaring the hell out of them in the process, lets the board play the good guy and help ensure employee loyalty to the company and not exclusively to the management. Moral of the story is that if you suspect management wrongdoing, report it to the board and you can expect to be treated more than fairly. A good investment to make.

But no company name? Is there any proof this story is true or not?

Personal use of a company email account deserves a private reprimand, at most. CC'ing an email account to the entire organization is worse. If you're gonna fire the CFO, I'm fine with that, but you better fire the clown from IT too!

Doesn't sound like the mail admin and IS Security officer are very trustworthy either.

i wouldn't hire them, i can't think of any company that would hire them if they knew about their actions with this company.

the only problem I see is with what these idiots did. it's not up to them who gets extra benefits or compensation? why do they deserve it if the execs decided to get rid of everyone?

They obviously had an objection as to what the CFO was doing. It wasn't their place to react the way they did, but IMO it was an entertaining story.

Why? If it's a European site, chances are 17 is fine. I doubt the age is an exaggeration.

I wasn't aware of that. So does that make it illegal to visit some European web sites from the states?

Still illegal to have child porn (*<18) in US, no matter where you get it from.
