He’s not being blackmailed by anyone.
How do you know? He looked pretty corrupt to me when he sold stocks before the crash. What other things has he done that didn’t come to the general public’s attention? Did news of this stock sale get out, as a warning to him?
Looking corrupt isn’t an indication of being blackmailed, but it is a strong indication of being an a-hole. In other words, he’s far more likely to be a blackmail-ER than a blackmail-EE.
There’s always a chance that you’re correct on this .... I just don’t happen to think so. I do think you’ve been right on most everything else you’ve posted, though.
