The actual title is "Former Netflix Executive Sentenced To 30 Months For Bribes And Kickbacks From Netflix Vendors
". Mike left Netflix in 2014 and joined Yahoo and CIO for a moment before this all came out and Meyer put him on leave.
He was a netflix executive when he took the bribe, so that seems completely acceptable: "Michael Kail used his highly compensated Netflix position to siphon cash and valuable stock options from his tech vendors,"
It wasn't intentional, the headline was too long to fit.
I think 'Former' is a key word here, showing Netflix is no longer affiliated with him. And "700K Bribes" reads like the number of bribes, not dollars collected
Also @dang
That makes sense, haha. That probably is the word I would have removed as well in that case. :)
HN should really increase the max title length, there's plenty of space and the current limit often requires important details to be cut out
But it isn't truly Hacker News unless it's formatted to be read on an 80 column monitor.
With 8 space indents per column for threading as per GNU style?
