You would be surprised at how much shit falls through the cracks.

Something doesn't get filed in the right place, a system fucks up somewhere, someone just fails to send the right email. It's not worth the time and effort for most companies to keep that strict of an eye.

But I am curious if there's going to be any ramifications when/if it gets found, outside of the ass chewing in-office and a cancellation of the line.
