I guess I don't know how exactly the events took place, so maybe my thinking is out of line.
From what I understand, the guy made the claim. The Corp decided it was enough to take to trial. The trial did what it was supposed to, and found him not guilty. But, like any trial, the damage has already been done, whether you are found guilty or not.
I guess I don't know what the charges were exactly, or how much truth they thought there was. I just seen it as someone making a complaint, it being looked into, someone finding there was evidence that he may hav ebroken laws, and the trial decided he didn't. Maybe it was that they knew it to be complete bogus, in which case my line of thinking would be completely off. But if not, the idiot that brought the complaints as retaliation, and the media for hyping anything that may be anti-US, are the real ones to blame.
