That's 'cause the government didn't bother to read the rules to Illuminati:
Weird Groups (Gamers) are immune to Government Groups (Secret Service). Fnord.

Yeah for Libertopia! These corporate sharks rape the system for all it's
worth, cash in their stock options, and then let the company take the fall
for their crimes. It's one reason why I don't trust corporate america at
all - they are extremely short-sighted. The company and consumers will
catch hell? So what? I'll just cover it all up as best I can, and by the
time it all comes out, it's someone else's responsiblity. Get some good old
fashioned personal responsiblity in there and you'll see a lot of that go away.
