Jim is a crook. He embezzled $450,000 from his employer. The day Jim's employer found out about his misdeeds but before it conducted a thorough investigation it went to the newspaper and told the publisher all about it. The next day Jim read his own story, with his own name, in the newspaper. Which of the following is correct?
A) The company did the right thing publishing Jim's identity in the newspaper because it both punished him for steeling and served as a warning to his neighbors who might also be at risk of being defrauded.
B) The company should not have put Jim's name and story in the paper because if other employees know there is fraud in the company they will likely quit and go to work for someone else.
C) Jim may have been misrepresented by the story in the newspaper and the company may be liable for slander.
D) Publishing the story in the newspaper was the wrong thing to do because only employees should know about the fraud and, more especially, who their co-worker fraudster is.
