VileFoulAndEvil: VileChairmanOfTheBoard on layoffs

To a newspaper in the SmallEuropeanCountryThatIsNotFinland: "[VileFoulAndEvil] has grown from a staff of four in 1997 to 300 employees with 11 offices in six countries. During this process we have hired some complete idiots that are not good in their jobs. Now we are letting some of them go."

To another newspaper in the SmallEuropeanCountryThatIsNotFinland, a bit later, after the scandal started: "If the word 'idiot' has passed my lips, I obviously did not mean it."
