However, Olam responded quickly by applying for temporary suspension of shares, filing petition against MW and Block with the high court of Singapore and also by issuing rebuttal reports. This was to prevent the share prices from further decreasing and to restore confidence in the investors.

He added that this was to demonstrate that Olam could access debt and capital markets and that Olam has a significant shareholder who is willing to backstop them and support them not with words but with action. (Agence France-Presse, 2012) This sent an indirect signal to the investors that Olam was capable of running it business without going into solvency and that it had backing from strong financial institutions such as Temasek Holdings. Such reassurance instilled confidence among the investors and helped to raise the share

The Patriot Act and similar amendments passed in countries all over the world increased the demand for services, which redirect your traffic through a proxy server & encrypt it to prevent other internet users and even your ISP from spying on you.

To communicate with your desired server providing the website you want to visit, the proxy has to decrypt your traffic and thus the internet provider of the proxy server is able to see the unencrypted data stream.
