This isn't even about the wife--this is about a deal with a former mistress to keep quiet by offering her a token job as an investor at one of his companies.
She doesn't get the memo that she isn't actually supposed to do anything and suggests poorly substantiated investments and potentially does a little fraud... exhausting just reading about it, I'm not sure why I bothered.
There's no real takeaways here except he should just keep it in his pants. Definitely nothing worthwhile for this audience.
It was a lot to read through, and I don't know why we (or the NYTimes) should care, but it sure doesn't seem like "potential" fraud, and it was only "a little" because Eric Schmidt is a billionaire. She totally tried to pull a fast one (registering a company with the same name in a different state to get shares that were his to be transferred to hers). ESH here but the legal system will not look kindly on that bit of subterfuge.
