There’s a link posted on /. to a rumor site that claims he was banging a subordinate that he had promoted to a VP slot.
Screwing customers gets you promotions, screwing promotions gets you terminated. Or something.

I once worked as a contractor in a company. A senior VP was fired. He was leading the outsourcing effort and the IT Guys found a large amount of porn on his workstation.
