Wanna get on a yakuza shit list? Follow the example of this one 26-year old cop, who accidentally leaked tons of confidential info (names, addresses, affiliated companies, etc.) on 400 members of Yamaguchi-gumi, the biggest yakuza syndicate in the country. Apparently he used a P2P file exchange software called Winny to transfer the files onto his home PC, and that's when the info got out. We don't really know why he had police records on his home PC in the first place—that's being investigated.

The lack of attention to confidntial items and information never ceases to amaze me. Like the guy you told us about who lost the evidence in that murder case, or the one who had and lost a flash drive of info. Whatever happened in the murder case where they lost the sword? Did he go to jail?
