> "XXX is being investigated" implies there's some kind of possible wrongdoing here

A Board independently investigating its CEO with outside counsel absolutely communicates they think he may have fucked up. You don't do that in the normal course of affairs.

No - this is not true.

They are not 'investigating the CEO' - they are investigating the situation.

In the press release they are investigating the fat that Jensen 'was the target of an operation'.

I think the misrepresentative nature of your comment proves my point.

		> this is not true What experience or reporting are you basing this on? > They are not 'investigating the CEO' - they are investigating the situation This is how all independent investigations by a Board are phrased. Because half the time, you don't fire the CEO. Would you say walking into a meeting where you have a 50% chance of being fired is a nothing burger? > the misrepresentative nature of your comment proves my point I think I'm pretty clearly representing what a lot of folks on this thread are misunderstanding, willfully or ignorantly, about the nature of this sort of a Board action.
