      It’s not about sleeping around but bypassing export controls which is a lot more serious. The first affair being with a Chinese citizen who was an executive of Megaspeed being used to move 7.5 billion dollars worth of chips is what is causing panic.

      Billionaires sleeping around, even with consent, is enough to sink them as CEO. It’s happened to big companies in Australia.
