alt Hacker News> I'm sick of the pearl clutching against a man who had consensual relationships with adult women his own age,
Do we have evidence that his legally-recognized other half consented to these relationships? If so, fine. That still doesn't remove the problems with those relationships, like the possibility of Alice Huang being a PRC intelligence asset, or the fact that one of the affairs was with a company employee, which can, in a roundabout way, place potential penalties on her career if she doesn't consent.

Excuse me, where the f*ck did I excuse pedophilia???

In this day and age of no-fault divorce, co-parenting, etc, where is this moral outrage coming from for a man cheating on his wife / girlfriend? I'm just so confused TBH. 'Legally-recognized other half'.... in no jurisdiction is it illegal to cheat on your wife.

The sole evidence that she is a Chinese intelligence asset is that she is Chinese.

Forgive me for not feeling sorry for a likely deca, probably centi, millionaire. This is not some secretary intern.

Because, if we're going to be witchhunting CEOs for their personal lives, there are a helluva lot worse people than Huang that need to go.
You don't have to censor 'fuck.' Anyways, we excused it by not rising up. There was the token online outrage and then the story blew over. Unfortunately the individual is part of the group, so we're all guilty by association.
