He's wealthy enough that he doesn't have to care. Sadly, he's one of many, most, who demonstrate what happens what you have unbelievable wealth: you do whatever you want to whoever you want without feeling remorse.

And why not? What does he have to fear? He controls the stock. He's not going to lose his company. He's not going to lose his wealth.
