LAFAYETTE, La. The company whose employee donated to charity a computer containing private financial data on hundreds of people could face legal sanctions.
The computer turned up in a Goodwill store where Robert Zorn bought it for nine dollars. Zorn found confidential information about hundreds of customers of Coast Capital Mortgage Company stored on its drive.

Coast Capital said the employee who donated the computer still works for the company, pending a decision on possible discipline.

Cindy Richardson, a Lafayette resident who works as a security auditor, says the company could face lawsuits and possibly an investigation by the Federal National Mortgage Association.

Coast Capital says Zorn tried to extort the company for three-thousand-500 dollars in exchange for the computer. Zorn claims he just wanted to sell the computer back to the company.

Lafayette police are investigating the extortion claims. On Tuesday, a judge granted a temporary restraining order, demanding Zorn turn over all information he got from the computer and barring him from using or releasing the data.

Once committed to fight, Cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.
