Hi CF. We obviously look at this through different lenses. 1st, I insinuate nothing against the girl, never did. Yes I used conditional clauses, and did so purposely. I imply nothing unkind to the young person, you infer it. I agree that she is a "pawn", obviously a human being, unfairly placed in what could be potentially harmful do to careless handling.
She should be able to work two jobs. SKS should be able to employ a part time person at his horse farm and at Wave. The implication of potential impropriety lies in that she may be a "ghost" (or partially so) on Wave's payroll. It happens almost normally in family business, I've done it myself in my own business (not a public co.). All SKS and she had to do was update websites to indicate that her work at the horse farm (or vice versa Wave) did not conflict w/ the other. That in and of itself would have squashed it. But they didn't. So, as a result, skeptics wonder if there were possibly devious reasons (even worse than a ghost) for her hire at Wave. She should never have been put in that position, it's wrong. She's the kid, presumably still somewhat naive, while SKS is a CEO, presumably moneied, powerful and persuaive. Blaming me for what I haven't done, "using a young kid as my ammunition" is unfair. Again, there is likely no wrong doing here. My point is, has been, that SKS caused speculation because this was poorly handled.
Please understand, I am without animus; accusatory only of SKS for lack of forethought. I remain somewhat distraught over his lack of foresight, albeit not surprised. Wave is a very small company, family controlled. If it grows substantially,as we all hope it will, this kind of silly oversight must be eliminated. Some folks take advantage of this type of thing.
Additionally, I commend you for such a vigorous defense-although I think she did nothing improper.
If this response doesn't provide clarity to my thoughts and you continue to hold an opposing view, then we'll just have to differ. I'm fine w/ that, and will continue to have high regard for your intellect and opinions which I value. And thx CF.
