Why would they go after their friends and bosses?
I think it's funny that one of the most well-known ancient pieces of writing is of a man complaining that he was sold cheap copper, and here we are over 3,500 years later still thinking merchants can be trusted. Flock was never going to serve the common people when they can make so much more money serving the wealthy instead. When someone chooses a career in making money over all else, the only thing you can trust about them is that they will drop everyone and everything for a buck.
