They'll also figure in how likely they think he is to skip out and flee the country or something. He very likely has the money to do it stashed away somewhere, so the question is would he be willing to?

I don't know how that would play out, but he isn't exactly looking good, character-wise.

To me, probably. He exhibits much of the same traits as Elizabeth Holmes in terms of perspective on his own intelligence and entitlement.

She surrendered her passport, without mentioning she had or had access to another one, and was caught planning to leave for Mexico with a one way ticket and no accommodation booked, and then tried to claim it was "for a friend's destination wedding" (which shouldn't even have mattered - the surrender of the passport meant she was forbidden from leaving the country, regardless the reason).

That's hilarious considering neither Mexico nor US checks passports when you walk into Mexico in CA/az west except maybe San Ysidro crossing. She literally could have walked across and nobody would know, instead she did the dumbest thing possible of buying a one way last minute air ticket on a flagged passport. That would have triggered some cursory check for anybody let alone Holmes.

How the hell people this dumb become CEOs.
