What I love about this whole thing is how many different ways there are to offend one’s sensibilities.

There’s the obvious one of cheating on one’s spouse.

If you don’t find that immoral or just don’t think it’s that bad, there’s the massive ethical issue of having a sexual relationship with a subordinate. And if you don’t care about the ethics of it, it’s still a problem of it influencing business decisions.

And if none of that gets you, there’s the whole spy angle. National security is a pretty good reason to frown on this. And even if you don’t care about that, there’s the corporate espionage angle: how much info made its way to their Chinese competitors?

If not a single one of those makes you think maybe there’s some merit to his ouster, and you compare the situation to Alan Effin Turing, you’ve lost the plot.

A sexual relationship with a subordinate, and a sexual relationship with a customer. Both of which could influence your business decisions.
