Flannery may have lied but that's not easy to prove. He can issue a statement on Monday and "change his mind" on Thursday, ...and it's perfectly legal. Men do it all the time. In this case it seems to apparently follow a pattern but that might not constitute a crime either.
He is a hatchet man. No doubt about it. When you see his name appear, you know that he's been hired because he promised the corporate management that he could greatly enhance their financial position. He most certainly warned them that there would be a backlash of opinion, ...but then the world is full of "new" investors. (That's about how he would present the plan to them.)
Complaints can be posted to the appropriate officials.
