There's plenty of cheating CEOs. I don't really understand what difference it makes that his mistress was Chinese Spy.

Essentially all CEOs of big companies have affairs and employ prostitutes. There are very few if any exceptions. Some hide their behavior better than others, some feel no need to do so. It's how 50+ heterosexual men behave if they have the resources to do so, and these guys have the resources to do so.

The consequence of this for security is twofold. First, compromising someone with sex is both much cheaper than compromising someone with direct payments of money and much easier to hide in an operational sense. Second, this is particularly so when the married mark's image (even sincere mentality) is one of rectitude and hard work and so forth.

I feel like every thing requires a tin foil hat now. Is this some last ditch ploy to stimulate noncompetitive regulation from the US government? I find it more difficult to trust anything these people say everyday.

Pangram says that this letter is partially AI-generated. Hilariously, it's the part where he's sorry that he cheated on his wife that's AI-generated, while the part about cooperating with the investigation and affirming his love of America is real.

I respect the guy. It takes guts to admit when something like that is up.
