That's complete bullshit... I hope the guy does go to jail. You know, if you're not happy with your job, get another. What type of person sets out to sabotage the company so he can stick around? Isn't that a bit counterproductive? I've worked with people that do stuff similar. Not flat out write to fail, but make things overly complex so they're the only ones that understand it. They're told to knock that shit off, they usually make a stink about how their way is best, then they're let go for being the shit employees they are. Anyway...
PS: I also thought this was going to be more of a real virus, as in you whacked it and it sprayed a viral solution into the air. See what this whole terror-administration has done to me
