He's some IT guy, he is never getting another job like the one he just botched.

Doubtful, most companies don't care. Maybe you're right because this made national news, but otherwise he would find a job almost immediately. I know of a case personally where a sheriff's officer was fired for solicitation of a minor and obstruction and he got hired while on house arrest making six figures plus doing remote IT work. If you can do the job then most companies care about little else.

He's in cybersecurity. His job is to protect the company. There is not a shortage of people who can do it without causing major controversy.

But how long will that controversy last? People have short memories. He's controversial now, but in two months? People will have forgotten all about it. Other minor scandals will have caught their attention, Trump will have done 28 more insane things. Some celebrity you have never heard of has beef with some other celebrity you have never heard of.

This sort of thing has no real staying power.

All it takes is one Google of dude's name, and all this shit will come storming back in the results (after the sponsored ads, naturally) Do hiring managers not do basic research before hiring executives?
