Very naive. Perhaps Joseph Nacchio, you know, committed insider trading. Perhaps his lawyer's excuse, that it was retribution from the NSA was, you know, a lawyer's excuse. And perhaps the sympathetic tech press regurgitates it like a fact.

Edit: and by the way, it was a jury trial. So not only was the SEC acting on behalf of the NSA, and the judge who sentenced him, but so was a 12 person jury. That's more believable.
