Dude, he wasn't able to rally people around the idea of not lying, because everyone around him happened to be a crook. :)

Like I was writing above, she put herself in a position where someone higher up in management knew that her Stanford degrees were fake, but nobody else knew. So that someone totally owned her - they could use her as the "dark hand" for literally anything (putting inconvenient people on PIP, fudging inconvenient metrics to advertisers / business partners / executives / etc).

Now that this is public, things will change for her, for sure ...

Munira is exUSSR (Tajikistan).

That is probably why she was not fired. If this is actually true, it suggest extreme disfunction in management as well.
