Non-Obvious Issues Arising from Corporate Problems and Subsequent Statements About the Scope/Impact of the Problem

Risk managers and lawyes have to think even more about divergent types of fallout from a corporate problems. The point is illustrated by this great post from Kevin LaCroix at D & O Diary. in the post, he airs various non-obvious liability, risk and D & O issues rising from Siemen's problems with corporate bribery. One of the non-obvious problems is a subsequent securities suit that arose from later statements by Siemens about the revenue impacts that would or would not follow from stopping the use of bribery.
