before somebody jumps down his throat for saying he had a salary of $200k a year, the original part of the article is as follows: > He has had "a very comfortable life" that included a salary of roughly $200,000, a girlfriend with whom he shared a home in Hawaii, a stable career, and a family he loves. The $200k part isn't in quotes, so it is possible that the writer mixed up a statement on what he previously earned, what he earned in total in the last year, or something else. The point of that part of the story was to set out just how much he was leaving behind, no doubt he had a comfortable life. I wouldn't read too much in the discrepancy between what Booz say his salary was and what it was states as in The Guardian - except that it is a bit weird for a former employer to include in a statement about a person being fired what their salary was. They likely only mentioned it because $200k was mentioned in the original article, a further attempt to discredit although a soft one.
