He’s a bilionaire. Even if she’s a spy, he knew, and he gave her critical information, he’s unlikely to be punished meaningfully. Billionaires don’t go to gitmo.

What info did he give her? I've been trying to find this info

Oh yes, I totally get that. The right thing would for him to lose everything for betraying his country and company. This won't happen because wealthy people always get a free pass.

[–] buzz@piefed.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Agree, though it’s not yet clear that he betrayed anyone beyond his family.

When you are running a multi-billion dollar company you are held to much higher standard because of the massive responsibility. Being involved with a spy is a profound dereliction of his duty and shows a criminal level of disregard for his company.

Just being caught betraying his family should be grounds let him go, but this goes much deeper than that. I doubt anything will happen, but letting people in high levels of leadership pull this kind of shit without serious consequences is bonkers in my book.

lolwut. Nobody believes this kind of Milton Freidman-level bullshit anymore.

No it is real, leaders are held to a higher level of accountability.

Lmfao. Name a billionaire in America who was held accountable for their failures.

Oh you must finally have the proof that she's a spy! Hit me with the link big dog!

I bet you have a lot of trouble keeping your work life and your home life separate, lol. Pro tip: Mind your fucking business when you're at work

Only because the US hates women, Elizabeth Holmes and of course Marha Stewart.

I am sure China will admit it at any moment. Maybe try holding your breath?

I would need a life first, you got a spare one....damn nevermind. I thought I was bad. Cheers!

Don't mix honey with the money.

A couple years in minimum security prison for fraud in the billions. That's accountability to you?

So you don't have any evidence at all? Wild for you to be so confident! Unsurprising but still wild!

It was genuine advice. The fact that you admit to not having a life outside of work tells me I was right to give it lol.

Don’t mix honey with the money.

Again, any evidence this is what happened?
