i knew a director of eng from axon for a while. he tried to exploit my husband’s stalled career to get him to work on racial profiling ai. last i heard he got divorced (due to his abuse), tried to hide money from her, and ran away to vietnam to set up an office. used to brag being related to famous mafia people. weird company, weird leaders.
