As you may have already read, a bank in the state of Wyoming accidentally emailed confidential bank info to the wrong email address. They then asked Google to turn over the name of the account holder. Google said "no". A judge then ordered Google to close the user's gmail account.
This issue has now been resolved. We don't get many of the real details however.

The interesting thing is that the gmail user didn't do anything wrong. All they did was RECEIVE confidential bank info.
I guess if we've learned anything during the past 3 years, it's that when a bank screws up, it's everyone else's responsibility to fix it.
