Talk about blowing shit out of proportion. People need to realize that making death threats is a good way to make the bad guys look like the good guys.
Which is probably why the CEO made it up using the single death threat from an employee as an excuse to close the company for the day and probably also get pity from people for it (see here for more details).
I bet it probably won't stay that way though, he'll probably realize people are onto his lies and make some death threats from sock-puppet accounts and claim "No 4 reAl pEopLe arE sENdiNg m3 deAth tHreAts" I wouldn't put it past him if people don't keep falling for the current one, and if people keep the heat on him for his current bad decisions.
