Will arrested Sr. VP Robert ("Blabber Mouth") Moffat cut a deal by mouthing off about “family secrets” at IBM ??? [That’s less like an Epiphany and more like your worse nightmare.]
After all, Blabber Mouth was IBM CEO Samuel (“Big Sam”) J. Palmisano’s heir apparent, confidant, protégé, pal, chum, buddy. In 20-20 hindsight it may appear that Blabber Mouth was Big Sam’s coach, mentor, counselor.
WHATEVER !
Big Sam and Blabber Mouth even shared investment “strategies” ! On August 12 & 21, 2008 Big Sam and Blabber Mouth made large parallel IBM stock transactions. [This is during the same time frame that Blabber Mouth was spilling his guts to Danielle Chiesi.]
On August 28, 2008 Big Sam cleaned out the till. He' still at it ! http://biz.yahoo.com/t/40/4114.html

What a “Coincidence” ? ? ?
Got jokes !
To add insult to injury, many (too many) high level IBM execs and Board members heard the same Epiphany in 2008 & 2009-- “SELL ! SELL ! SELL !”
[Data Sources are posted on the “IBM’s Ball Game” link.]
Blabber Mouth is now officially retired. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/30/ibm-executive-in-insider-trading-case-departs/?dbk

Blabber Mouth was at IBM for 30 years. Blabber Mouth knows where all the bodies are buried. To save what’s left of his hide, Blabber Mouth Moffat may start singing like a MOFF-king Bird !!!
