If nothing else, whenever you see a scandal it seems you should expect a coverup - the only reason it's against the law to cover up is otherwise very very few would willingly harm his university, employer, or self by exposing dirty laundry like this.
Lesson for business life, whenever you learn about something shady, automatically assume there are at least some people who know and should have acted but did not. It's just human nature it would seem.

I think they get too clever and believe they can get out of an unpleasant situation without any unpleasantness. They're also afraid of losing control.
