It was wrong to subvert security protocols, but this employee was genius if he could spend 1/5 of salary to outsource his job with no one noticing any change in the level of the code being delivered.

There are literally hundreds of companies that should hire this individual to manage an entire team of outsourced developers.

I read it differently. I don't see any proof that he has any particular talent for managing entire teams of outsourced developers, but rather that he was being paid 4/5 too much for work easy and unimportant enough that he seemingly never had to communicate about it much with anybody besides his employee.

So managing an outsourced team is worth nothing? The China group probably wasn't working during his 9-to-5.
