You&#x27;re forgetting the <i>direct</i> example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Joseph_Nacchio" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Joseph_Nacchio</a><p><i>He was convicted of 19 counts of insider trading in Qwest stock on April 19, 2007 – charges he and many others claim are U.S. government retaliation for his refusal to give customer data to the National Security Agency in February, 2001.</i><p>Given the iffiness of such charges when it&#x27;s your own company&#x27;s stock, we have to at least entertain the proposition that refusing to work with the NSA is a ticket to Federal prison.  Qwest is said to have been the only big company that refused.
