The Singapore hack happened (there is/was a crime investigation) 'and it is believed dozens of emails from high ranking members of the firm may have been intercepted by cyber criminals or terrorists'.
Possibly terrorists involved - ALAARM!
Making the case a top secret and high priority matter for the British and US governments, because the claim would make especially the US administration a complicit in a war crime. So, if there was an email conversation about their wheelings and dealings, they would have made it public for sure. (Not!)
Or they would have kept it under the carpet and 'won' the Daily Mail to withdraw the statement and fully cooperate with the investigation efforts - for the sake of the nations in their strugle against terror - and according to the Patriot Act and its British counterpart.
Then there was a settlement between Britam and Daily Mail Online.
