Ok but if you are having an affair with your direct report why would you "be affectionate" in public ?

When I encountered this ( in much smaller, non strategic companies!) both parties took great care to hide their affair and appear completely professional in public. The fun and games were kept behind closed bedroom doors. I don't get it.

Some folks get a thrill from getting caught, too.

I mean, the guy's worth $150B or so.

Do they offer $20k? $200k? $2M? He stands to potentially lose tens of billions over this.

The fact that they had a process for this is telling.

See Succession, after a certain net worth this is common practice, family bodyguards and lawyers train for such cases, however absurd.
