Giana is the executive secretary to the CEO of a large public corporation. One day her boss takes her into a back room containing numerous cardboard file boxes and three shredding machines, and he tells her to shred every document and file in the room. He then says, "We're under investigation by the SEC, and if they get their hands on anything in this room, we're ruined." She asks what is going on and is told that the company has been perpetrating fraud for years and needs to destroy all the evidence. If Giana then agrees to shred the documents and files, what, if anything, could happen to Giana?
