Agreed, probably Jeff Bezos has made those mistakes as well. However I fail to see any mistakes of his threatened to be revealed.

Cheating on his wife?

During what appears to be an amicable divorce? With an age-appropriate woman? I'm not sure that rises to the level of "mistake," and certainly not to blackmailable acts.

AMI way overplayed their hand here, and we may yet find that they had gone all-in.

This isn't the 1950s. The conservative candidate in the last election is literally a serial philanderer. We're way past the point where the public at large is going to wring their hands about hum drum infidelity.

Jeff was using company money and contracts to keep his mistress happy. The pictures keep that in the spotlight.

And despite the letter, does anyone think he isn’t spending a big chunk of time on this?

Most Fortune 500 CEOs would be gone or forced into retirement.

That would mean he literally committed fraud. What's your source for that info?

Why shouldn't he spend his time on whatever he wants?

> fraud

Blue Origin yanked a super bowl ad after it was disclosed Sanchez was involved in its production team (presumably she was not free, and the ad certainly wasn’t.) It was then shifted to Washington Post at the last minute, with a slapdash ad. [0]

> ... time on whatever he wants?

He can, but that time has to come from somewhere. It’s hard to believe Amazon is getting his full attention. He can own the stock, but I certainly question whether Amazon has a business-focused leader right now.
