Mark Pincus has a Stasi-like scheme which is how Zynga uncovers game ideas and other business secrets. It involves using the accounts of people under his influence, use of false identities and phishing. Offering a job in some company is another way he uses to have victims volunteer information or answer questions. Not even these tricks has saved Zynga after they lost the guaranteed traffic deal with Facebook.

Mark Pincus is unlikely to get caught, but as the CEO of a publicly traded company, supported by Kleiner and others, he was a criminal, like Richard Nixon but on a smaller scale.
