Forum:ME2 questions

I've played through Mass Effect 3 a few times, and now I've gone back to do another playthrough of Mass Effect 2. I'm still early in it, but a couple of story related things came up that I wondered about.

First, about the first N7 mission you receive, "N7: Lost Operative." I had forgotten about this one. In it you encounter an Eclipse merc base where they had taken a Cerberus operative captive and presumably tortured him to death. You find a cipher that you can choose to return to Cerberus, keep, or upload to the Alliance. I forwared it to the Alliance. Then you receive an email saying that the data could do serious damage to Cerberus, and that it will take some time to decode.

Did this info ever come to fruition in any way in Mass Effect 3? If it did, I missed it. If not, I wonder if it was ever supposed to and what it could have been.

Second, I just finished "Kasumi: Stealing Memory." I always enjoyed this mission everytime I played it, and it seemed like it would have major implications in Mass Effect 3. Ultimately, it does come up in ME3, but only in a very minor Citadel assignment. In Stealing Memory, the info alludes that it's something huge, but in the ME3 assignment it's a minor conflict involving Batarians and Hanar. Has anyone ever read or heard if this was originally supposed to be a bigger subplot in Mass Effect 3, but later got changed to something minor for some reason?

It's a shame if that's the case, because it had the makings of something pretty interesting.
