Exactly. I don't expect big business to be "trustworthy". They just happen to have a lot more to lose from actions like these. Apple would find it much more difficult to go after the small time crooks as compared to a Citibank partner. I'm sure there would be a lot of small print absolving Citibank of any actual responsibility, but some of the mud is bound to stick. Venky.
