They sold the data by proxy by knowingly letting the 3rd parties syphon the data. Why else would they be at CA when the cops showed up? Are you being intentionally obtuse?

They let third parties access data but where are you getting the idea that they “sold the data by proxy”? There is no evidence they wanted the data to be stolen, or that they willingly allowed it.

They were at CA because it's a multibillion dollar company and that means that they have people who keep tabs on stories that result in millions of dollars of lost stock value. It's not because they were in cahoots with CA, they were covering their bases.

Are you honestly suggesting that CA wrote Facebook a check?
