So yeah, people lie, but it’s probably nowhere near what you’re thinking. Consider the shit storm that making accusations against a company like LTT unleash. For most people, it won’t be worth it.

I understand the desire to reserve judgment, but I think whistleblowers like this should be treated with an open mind.
