I think we all know a bunch of shit about a lot of other people... and just because it may affect you, or whoeverthefuck, some way or some how... it does not make it my responsibility to go and tell them what I know.
Unless someone's life is in danger. Or someone's personal safety. Or maybe if it might result in global economic meltdown, like if I had the inside scoop on Bernie Madoff's ponzie scheme... MAYBE you'd have a moral obligation to tell someone. But holy shit, we're talking about someone shutting down a program. That's it. It's not an implication of fraud, it's not an implication of anything illegal occurring. The mere expectation a program will be closing does not imply that people won't get paid. In fact, you have no fucking idea what it's an implication of... just that the program is closing.
It would be in everyone's best interest to not to yell "fire" in a crowded theater.
It will only serve to make you look like a fucking asshole to everyone you do business with.
