Not all whistle blowers face ostracism.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Interesting story of a man who was outed because he worked for a company that sold systems via retail store, but he had a conflict, in that he also had interest in a business that did internet mail order. I'm just surprised how long it took to nab him. I mean, where better to get access to the internet than a computer store? Why didn't someone do a google earlier?

President of CompUSA, TigerDirect fired

The chief executive of Miami's CompUSA and TigerDirect is being fired following an investigation of an anonymous whistleblower complaint.

The news of Gilbert Fiorentino's departure was announced Monday by Systemax, the parent company of both CompUSA and TigerDirect. Fiorentino, who also served as chief executive of Systemax's Technology Products Group and a director of the publicly traded parent company, was placed immediately on administrative leave as the company began steps to terminate his employment.

The actions came after the conclusion of an independent investigation of the unspecified whistleblower allegations focusing on the company's Miami operations. Fiorentino, founded TigerDirect in 1987 in Miami with his brother and a partner as a catalog company that later morphed into one of the early internet retailers.

The investigation conducted by Systemax's Audit Committee and independent legal counsel determined that the issues surrounding the whistleblower complaint had no "material impact" on Systemax's financial results and the impact was limited to the Miami operations
