Reading Recommendation for Richard.

One of the better non-investing books I've read with an investing lens.

From today's Australian:

Fair dinkum, this guys is not a foolish 17 year old high school student, but is supposed to be a leader of $40b publicly listed company. 

He will probably survive all this in the sense of keeping his job in some form or another, after all he does own 37% of the company.

Will anyone think the same about this guy again? All those Horatio Alger podcasts and bios and cutesy little stories about working as a Roadie for ACDC.

How will his 3,500 staff, especially female staff now think about their CEO?

@ScoonieI think some of these fellas get a bit of a god complex and figure they can do anything. I think he'll be very lucky if this all just goes away now. It might.

If his flirt/romance game is as subtle as that, they probably already know he's a bit suss

You're hitting the nail on the head, though in our lowest-common-denominator-for-probity-in-public-life kind of modern society, people have perpetrated and gotten away unscathed with worse.

Exhibit A is a certain orange-bronzed man child who might once again hold the most powerful office in the world...
