'Recall: "Symantec was forced to fire 3 employees after Google's engineers found rogue SSL certificates issued in its name used in the wild."

Was anyone prosecuted for that? No? So it was a government backdoor, you don't fake an identity document like that and it doesn't even get investigated.'

Prosecuted for what? Could you name a statute or a piece of common law which this violated?
