Does it not go.
Insurance Company "This was fraud - insurance contracts operate on the principal of uberrimae fidae, therefore, unless the terms of the contract of insurance specically include indemnity for fraud or other illegal activities by an officer of the corporation, we won't pay out"
Xerox CEO "Dammit - we've been slapped by a mighty big damages suit against an execitive which won't be covered by our insurers. Quick, phone our retained council Sue, Grabbit and Runne, and get those shysters to recover as much as possible from the bastard that landed us in this pickle. Oh, and while your at it, get them to sue our auditors for failing to uncover this. Also, get another firm of management consultants (not Accenture - heaven help us) to show us how to cover our asses in future, just so we can show the stockholders that we're sincere in our desire to clean house. Finally, if I don't see some mid level suits falling past my window in the next five minutes, there will be hell to pay (as long as I'm not paying). Now get to work, and don't try calling me for the next few hours, I'll be shredding."
