I heard this may be coming. I would be fairly certain it’s also a sign things are about to get real. On my short list: a-NDCal just denied transfer of section 1 market rigging claim so FB is fighting a potentially criminal allegation of market rigging based on her signature. /1

b-internal investigation by FB of report that Sandberg used FB market power to interfere with a UK news org
c-lawsuit in Delaware by second largest pension fund with insider trading allegations against Sandberg /2

d-certified class for suit with fraud allegation where Sandberg key lieutenant
e-fingerprints all over some pretty nasty moves including chaos in Australia
f-13yrs of personal discovery just underway in consumer protection lawsuit in NDCal from Cambridge Analytica cover-up /3

g-Business is looking very vulnerable due to Apple and other regulator changes to privacy and Mark’s ambitions in Metaverse. Why include it in her legacy?
h-she still hasn’t testified under oath for some major major issues. Her 1/6 denials also about to be subject to hearing. /4

I’ll stop there for now. But a reminder she has played a key role in protecting Zuckerberg and company while overseeing policy, PR, commercial/monetization efforts at one of the most consequential companies of our generation. first report. /5 nytimes.com/2022/06/01/tec…

Going to just drop this thread in here, too, in case anyone wants to dive a bit deeper on anything. Again, nothing conclusive, a lot of allegations and lawsuits, but certainly a lot of headaches and risk at the very least. /6

and will end with this on her quasi-replacement.

this was added in NYT’s report but I’m calling BS on these two Sandberg employees. A reporter was working to confirm this news last Tuesday. And NFW Zuckerberg found out just this past weekend and after a reporter got wind of it. Something up. ⬆️ @sheeraf @ceciliakang @MikeIsaac

Really good report by WSJ that starts to unpack the reality from the formal spin sent out yesterday. Two things I would call out from the report as questionable. wsj.com/articles/why-s…

I still don’t believe this timing. No way I believe she informed Mark last weekend not the least because there was press trying to confirm this last week putting aside the sensitivity of the decision and other clues the last few months.

This reads as if Sandberg testified as a follow up to Cambridge Analytica but it’s important to note it was the only time she ever testified under oath and the topic was reported as being off limits as part of her testifying.
