Your CEO was correct. He should have also said the same thing to the guy who cancelled backups as well...and the guy who never put in place and periodically tested a disaster recovery plan. So much fail in this story, but mistakes happen and I've had my share as well.

I once (nah twice) left a piece of credit card processing code in "dev mode" and it wasn't caught until a day later costing the company over 60k initially. Though they were able to recover some of the money getting the loss down to 20k. Sheesh.
