They say any man can be seduced by one of these three: money, drugs or sex.
Or as Charlie Munger put it: There are only three ways a smart person can go broke: Liquor, ladies, and leverage.“
I don't think he's at any risk of going broke. At worst he will lose his job and NVDA stock will suffer a brief setback.
Smart person and liquor are not to be put in the same sentence. Perhaps depends on the definition of "smart".
Munger also didn't mean this in the context of an intelligence operation.
This is not just a lapse of judgement from some random encounter on a business trip.
Surely a whole team would be dedicated to this operation with whatever resources needed since it will be a tiny investment for the possible payoff.
