I think this is the wrong take. Being rich doesn’t suddenly reduce people’s humanity.

Assuming the spy angle to be true, He IS a victim as a target of a concentrated effort by a nation state to compromise him.

If all it took to compromise US national security was for a nation state to exploit the oldest backdoor in the human/male psyche, then I’d say there’s something wrong with the national security defense strategy.

Don’t blame the single point of failure, blame the design, maybe the designers.

It should never have been possible.

Having said that, Russia/China wouldn’t use this strategy unless it worked against most powerful men and their psyche.
