Tarrant hasn't posted anything at all during this entire episode. His last post was October 29th, 2010. Is Tarrant on a long vacation? Did he change departments?
Was he fired into the upper atmostphere on a missile from Califoria and then filmed on the KCBS traffic chopper?
Enquiring minds want to know.

It's pretty standard practice at many companies if they fire someone, someone else goes through the ex-employee's communication records to look for any wrong doing. Additionally, it's common to forward accounts or monitoring them over time in the case of any future business correspondence. Expectation of privacy for employee's in most states is pretty much zip. Activity on the account does not necessarily mean anything.
Edit: Talk about speak of the devil...

That part I know. but that would not qualify why Tolero or Patience, base on the original comment, whould be able to access his account. Going through employee's records would not be handle by community reps.

Taken from the Tarrant Identity (http://www.themoviequotes.com/31/The_Bourne_Identity)
Patience: Now Tarrant, this only goes two ways. Either you finish out and let us make this right, or we're going to have to window farm until we're satisfied.
Tarrant: I don't want to do this anymore.
Patience: I don't think that's a decision you can make.
Tarrant: You sent me to kill the Abbot.
Patience: Kill the Abbot? The guild can do that any time they want, we have our airship buffs. I can send anyone to do that, for chrissakes. Mr. Abbot was supposed to be destroyed three mods ago. He was supposed to have died in a way where the only possible explanation was that he'd been destroyed without any exploits.
Tarrant: Tarrant is dead, you hear me? He dc'd two weeks ago. You're gonna go tell 'em that Tarrant is dead, you understand permadeath logic right?
Patience: Where are you gonna go?
Tarrant: I swear to Mabar, if I even feel somebody shadow-humping me, there is no measure to how many haste pots I will drink and how high my crit multiplier will get I will bring this fight to your marketplace instance. I'm on my own server now. Goodbye.

Early reports coming from the DEV liberators indicate that the reffered kidnapped was surrounded by kobolds in the company sewers, not the basement.
