I have to say, this seems like a ridiculous over-reaction on the part of the board.

I think if you could know the truth, 75% of CEOs in the US probably cheat on their wives. They are not hired to be faithful to their wives, they are hired to increase the stock prices of their companies.

Like sure, if you're a good Christian, it's not good behavior, but ultimately, it's just having sex with someone. I want the guy to make me money and build a great company, I don't care who he has sex with.

It's not about the sex. It's about the judgement shown in cheating with a Chinese spy and a direct report, specifically. It's the lack of trustworthiness shown by someone who is willing to cheat in their marriage (presumably they are then fine lying to their company). And finally it's about exporting gpus to China illegally.

This isn't just a case of some extramarital sex.

was it confirmed she was a spy? or is that just rumors?

I think the whole "selling chips to a country we have an export ban with" thing might be more of their concern.

Sure, but what about the relevant accusations?

Could 75% of CEOs in the US help foreign intelligence assets to evade export controls and not face consequences?

It’s quid pro quo sexual harassment.

Cheating in private is up to you.

Cheating with your direct report leaves you open to blackmail.

Cheating with your fucking customer leaves you open to a whole bunch more trouble.
