Rather than spygate, being stupid enough to take the 700 pages into a photocopier machine in Italy (tifosi, maybe?) that says confidential all over the place.
That thing is worth the effort to buy a photocopier just to scan that pages.

Biggest crime in F1 history is actually the lobbying Ecclestone and his fascist buddy Max Mosely did for the FIA hearing in October 1994...
Y'know...the one where Benetton was supposed to get kicked out of the World Championship because they spent the whole season cheating to win from traction control to launch control to illegally modified fuel rigs to ignoring black flags...
But Mosely in his infinite wisdom felt protecting the German fanbase mattered more than any sense of ethics as it pertained to F1.
Schumacher promptly thanked him by securing the World Championship when he took Damon Hill out of the race at Adelaide.
It was a crime of unprecedented nature because it set the stage for every thing else that followed in the years to come.
