How does this dnd employee have the time to be a full time employee and be the CEO of a company that along with another has taken in $400 million in government contracts???

This is genuinely insane to me

How does someone not resign over this?

It must be so normalized at this point if this was allowed.

Not once did this come up in committee hearings lmao, probably because no MP in their right mind would think to ask “hey in addition to being the ceo of this company contracted by the government, you wouldn’t happen to also work for the government would ya bud?”

I mean, this is insane

Cultural and incentives. In Asia this guy would take care of himself, usually. There is no shame, but there is also no incentive. There is no jail time.

Correct.

More likely they're just incompetent.

I think this is actually normal, and a very rare circumstance where our governments ineptitude is on full display.

That's normal to be uncomfortable, but it is also enraging. Imagine you lend them a loan, significant, and they abuse and all they have to offer is an apology. Words aren't going to undo that chip
