SOX 802 specifically provides for prison time for deletion of data "in
contemplation  of"  matters that _are not yet under_ investigation and
matters  _that  may  not yet have begun_ at the time a deletion policy
took effect.

If  you  are subject to SOX, an attempt to subvert future subpoenas by
destroying  all  data  could  well  land  you in jail. As for statutes
outside  of  SOX  and NASD/SEC, the treatment may be far more lenient,
but the question here was about SOX.
