Is that person a manager? If not, how doesn't his manager not notice his impact on other individuals to a point where ten people leave the company?

The toxic person was hired by the CEO and predates his manager.

The toxic person was likely valuable early in the company's history (he's great at throwing together prototype-quality code), and that reputation makes him hard to fire.

when their manager is an absent owner, or distracted CTO, or something like that, a lot can happen and be explained away before it's seen as a problem.
