Do you mean he got promotions cause he found a non existent vuln? Surely whoever handed out those promotions is to blame here?

He extorted himself a promotion, by knowing some dirt on the CEO.

Actually not unusual.

Lots of the Highest Ranked Sys Admins in larger companies are quite "invulnerable" due to the implication, that they might know everyones mail & the companies dirt.

Ultimately, you can blame the CEO for everything.
