Well, what does that say about Clare Rewcastle?
It's besides the point what Tong Kooi Ong and Ho Kay Tat might have in mind when they lied to Justo about the payment, but it does tell us that Rewcastle was a wee too hasty in dismissing Justo's accusation which has now been confirmed as truthful by the very people who have confessed to cheating him (Justo).

And I have to admit I'm shocked by Tong Kooi Ong and Ho Kay Tat admitting they went to the extent of cheating Justo, and to obtain stolen data in such a sinister manner. In the revelation of their own confessions, what does that say about them?
