Insider-Trading Suspects Smash Hard Drive Evidence

An anonymous reader writes "We all know Slashdotters love debating the best way to wipe a hard drive clean. Looks like tech-savvy Wall Street Hedge Fund managers also know the best way to do it. From the WSJ article: 'Mr. Longueuil's version of that night's events was recorded later, during a December meeting with former colleague Mr. Freeman, who by then was cooperating with the government and recording conversations, according to the U.S. complaint. "F—in' pulled the external drives apart," Mr. Longueuil told Mr. Freeman during their meeting, according to the criminal complaint. "Put 'em into four separate little baggies, and then at 2 a.m. 2 a.m. on a Friday night, I put this stuff inside my black North Face jacket, and leave the apartment and I go on like a twenty block walk around the city and try to find a, a garbage truck and threw the s—t in the back of like random garbage trucks, different garbage trucks four different garbage trucks."'"

Re:Destruction of evidence

[HiThere]

Having spoken to some survivors of those camps, I think you paint an overly civilized picture of them.

The children were sent to what could properly be called "retraining schools" to encourage them into politically correct beliefs. Their property was stolen, and never repaid. Etc.

OTOH, you are correct. They were "internment camps", and most people survived them. They might have become impoverished and be forced to work as farm laborers, but they did live through the experience. Most of them.

Saying they were given homes is painting a very pretty picture on the actuality, but it's not totally false. Quite. Similarly for the rest of your statements.

But you are right, they weren't extermination camps. They were essentially POW camps for citizens of the US. And as far as I have been able to figure out the entire purpose of them was to allow the wealth of those so interred to be confiscated by others with powerful political connections. (You might notice that Hawaii, which had a larger proportion of Japanese citizens than did California didn't need or use any such camps. Nor were the German citizens on the east cost treated so. It appears to have been legalized racial discrimination for the purpose of confiscating wealth.)
