Even if it were 100% on his own time I would expect complete and absolute disclosure of the specifics of he were to retain the position going forward, including details on what the basis for the extortion attempt was. With retirement I do not think I that I, or the public at large, need to know the details to that extent and am happy to say he reported the extortion attempt which was the right thing to do and retirement after being compromised is the right thing to do. Whatever lapse of judgement he made should be used as a cautionary tale and people should try to recognize that for almost all honeypot schemes that can be conducted online there are literally reliable and relatively private websites that are better alternatives than responding to messages from “random women” on social media.
