Well, he did do more than one irregular payment
"Separately, in October 2023 allegations were made against Sbastien de Montessus through the Company’s confidential whistleblowing channel relating to his personal conduct with colleagues. Following a recent external investigation, the Board had received the findings and, at the point of termination, was considering the appropriate course of action."
but I agree, that thought did occur to me with the news yesterday. Or they are going 300% in hopes of clawing back 1/3.
Not sure how they get past this in a short period of time. As many have pointed out, this fundamentally does not change the day to day "mining gold at a decent profit" activities. If he had just retired there would have had little effect - imo.
