So in general people are not as big fans of British Magical Realism compared to its Mexican equivalent.

Yeah, I cannot really see Beef, or any company, pulling such an elaborate ruse. For instance, if one is instructed to bury a diskette, how would one then stumble upon the virus? Did the computer notify the police? Did it access public sex offender records first to come up with a likely candidate, then fire off an anonymous tip via e-mail or a synthesized voice recording?

Perhaps this will be One Of Those Things that is simply dropped and we'll move on to Todd making inappropriate comments (please)?

Roast Beef was probably the one conversing with Cornelius the whole time, still pretty smart stuff.
