Rising Hegemon
The people who oversaw his bidding however...
Five days after the News of the World rolled off the presses for the last time, Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive of its publisher News International, walked out of the company with a severance package estimated by senior colleagues at £3.5m.
Her departure follows that of the final editor of the NOTW, Colin Myler, who is understood to be in line for a £2m pay-off, and two of the company's senior lawyers, Jon Chapman and Tom Crone, who will each get about £1.5m.
Wonder how much Les Hinton got?

"As chief executive of the company, I feel a deep sense of responsibility for the people we have hurt and I want to ....Oh fuck it. I've had my attorneys execute a pretty sweet escape deal and I'm fuckin' out of here. Good luck suckas. Suck on this. Neener neener all you low-level twits. I love Rup. Hah!"
Obviously, the Guardian must have hacked into RH comments. Are there any lawyers around? We should sue.
prearranged exit parachute, likely with a few nasty poisoned pills attached, just in case they feel the need to sing.
Rupie's gotta protect his own ass... but I imagine there are a few folks that have just as much damaging info that have been cut loose with nary a thought... invisible personal assistants, secretaries, the tech guys doing the actual hacking.... you know, the 'little, unimportant people'
i was thinking how much she got for falling on her pen.
