It looks like a pretty clear cut case of embezzlement and fraud.
They're both crimes.

They're both crimes.
The only sensible reason I can think that BOM is not under https is that there are ancient mission critical consuming services somewhere that can't handle the upgrade.
For example: a network of regional flood warning alarms that are pulling flood/rainfall data from a feed on the same url. They could have been built in the early 80s, and cant be upgraded. Ignoring them would risk lives etc etc
Nevertheless there would be other ways to solve that.
Why pay £100k for something that doesn’t matter?
Thats worth a lot in advertising dollars.
I've not seen anything about what they working, or even a break down by department, job role etc.
The only thing was something like "10 managers for every developer", and who knows if that's true.
I'd love to see some stats, but doubt we ever will.
I'd also love to get some responses from the remaining high performing tech talent about their opinion of it all. There was that guy who recently blew a whistle on the spread/blind-eye of bots and he seemed annoyed with the corporate culture.
On the other hand, every thread here and on social media is probably filled with upset people who have been laid off, hoping to swing public perception against New Twitter.
It's as clear as mud!
So in this hypothetical, the people building the future of the company have achieved nothing during this time and should absolutely be removed or replaced.
