What gets me is how often these conflicts of interest go sideways.
I'll give you another one, in the UK there is a panel of civil servants who get to decide if another civil servant would be entering a conflict of interest by working for an organisation he/she used to oversee.
I.e. a civil servant in the ministry of defense retiring and going to work as a non-executive director for British Aerospace.
Of 450+ decisions they made, 0 where considered a conflict of interest.
If you ask the other wolves if the first wolf did anything wrong by attacking the sheep you can't be surprised by the answer.
