1) One employee lying does not equate to a "dishonest" company (unless, of course, its the CEO or similar lying - though even then it's a stretch).

2) I have yet to see any proof anywhere of an SoE employee deliberately hiding the truth. At best, I've seen some inaccurate quotes of minor employees (not CEOs or developers, mind you) who probably didn't have all the information. Now this might sounds like fanboi talk, but we all know the communication lines at SoE/Verant in the old days weren't so good (they are much better now I hear). Thus, I think it's reasonable to suppose that no one really lied, they just gave information they thought was right at the time (but wasn't).

If you're going to try to refute 2 (good luck refuting 1), please provide the context and the quote (you can paraphrase it...I'm not a stickler on this point).
