Bank A to the idiot employee that spilled out the beans: "You're fired."
Just because it's confidential doesn't mean that leaks don't happen. Even the US military has security leaks!
I don't see why some guy working at Bank A, moves to a new job at Bank B, cannot release the data anonymously to the net about Bank A practices. Go on a vacation, use a public wifi, create a new FT account and post the info. How hard can it be?
