I appreciate these viewpoints. I still think Arko would have been better off communicating quickly and proactively to Haught any changes he made or security issues he discovered, despite however confused or contradictory Haught had been. As you say, RC is the "boss" in this relationship (they unambiguously own the AWS infrastructure and sign the consulting checks). So that is your duty as the professional in the room. And it would have at least protected his image when we now get to this point.

Of course hindsight is 20/20. The whole debacle is a shame.
