"Media blackout" the Wikipedia reference lists many mainstream sources that have covered the story.
- And the fact that he said 'if I die it's not suicide' was on most major sources.
  
  I really hate when I hear about things getting the media blackout treatment, and the reason I know about them is because I heard about them from mainstream media sources.
- Are people expecting journalists to get ahold of this body and do their their own autopsy? To seize evidence and do their own forensic analysis? There are no developments because there is no way for journalists to get more information. Without more information, there is nothing to report.
Not even stepping down until the end of the year, either. Also,
During his tenure, Calhoun made $24.5 million in salary and benefits and will possibly make a further $45.5 million from stock options he retains and $5 million from a retirement package.
So he murders a whistleblower with a hilariously bad coverup, gets to keep his job for another nine months, and still keeps his bonuses and retirement when he leaves. Can someone explain to me which part of this is supposed to be a punishment, because I'm not seeing it.
- Well the punishment is that the blowjob eventually ends, you see?
  
  Blowjobs for them, blowouts for us. SNAFU.
- Is it just me or does anyone else think Putler is behind this?
Man makes an enemy of a large company, man tells friends and family that he would not commit suicide and not to believe that in case he dies, man dies... Coroner yup, that's totally a suicide while counting a large stack of 50s...
- Why 50s?
  
  Because larger denominations are harder to spend in stores, and depositing a large amount, without a plausible story, will get scrutinized and/or flagged for the tax authorities. At least with European banking laws, I can't speak for US laws.

Hey boss, there's your problem.
He's not even the one responsible, he was just hired to eat the shit they knew was coming their way.
