The release letter relates the most to the laissez-fare economic theory and the Marxian economic theory. It relates to the laissez-fare theory because the due to the invasion of the customers rights law enforcement got involved to help investigate and stop the person who committed the crime. The Marxian theory also relates because this letter is about a person with great technological knowledge taking advantage of a weaker company’s cybersecurity. The rational choices theory can also be interpreted into the letter because although they withheld information to assist the investigation, the company didn’t tell the customers about their information being stolen until months later, which could’ve led to further damage. The social exchange theory comes into play to because instead of informing the customers earlier and paying the cost of lost money from them, they chose to use the police instead to benefit themselves and save money.
