I didn't understand what the last point about letting go of people was about
- I mean if you are talking about the last timestamp I think its implying if the findings of the investigation find out some pretty heavy misdeed by some staff members probably in relation to Madison comments and possibly or other things they found while going through fact finding may mean some people (maybe even very notable personalities) may get fired.
  
  That's the impression I was getting too. A way of saying that they're not afraid to dismiss anyone the investigation finds to be at fault.
  
  What happens if the investigation finds linus to be the problem?
  
  Lmao he’s the owner, so he ain’t going anywhere. They would water down whatever negative impact he had in order to keep him clean. He’s not been implicated directly by the victim anyway, if that matters. In a way all of this is his fault because he pushed his workers to burnout because of the ridiculous release schedule.
  
  The more I hear and see about and of Linus' off-camera persona, the more it's becoming clear to me that he is the problem. I'm not saying he personally said all the horrible things to Madison, but I would not be surprised if he said some of them. I think it's the same personality flaw that's behind all the shit at LMG.
  
  It's a culture issue. If Linus is on camera and makes a sex joke about his wife, Yvonne, the 49% company stake-holder, CFO, and head of HR, it sets a standard of the kinds of things that can be said in the workplace, even if it was unintentional. It may be all for show, scripted, and Yvonne may have even approved the joke, but someone new, or not party to it, may come to the conclusion that that kind of behavior is acceptable at LTT, because it is acceptable and done frequently on camera.
  There are so many examples of this in LTT videos. Tee-hee sex number, dick joke, that's what she said, and more run rampant. I get they're catering to a fairly juvenile audience with that content, but the environment of a ligma joke is much different coming from a situationally and emotionally unaware teenager instead of your 37 year old boss. One has mush and hormones for brains, and the other determines if you get a raise this year.
  
  The thing is, it's a small company. Drama and gossip runs hot and heavy all the time. While drama and gossip is not always true, it doesn't take long to find out where it comes from.
  If it took an outside investigator to identify and get people fired, their culture is fundamentally broken.
  
  They aren't having issues identifying the origin of "drama and gossip". Dealing with sexual assault allegations internally is NOT the way to deal with such issues. Having a third party come in and act as human resources is standard and unquestionably the correct choice.
  
  Hire someone to fire someone else, basically.
  
  No. It's always easier for an outsider to see and bring up problems especially in a small group of people.
  Everyone in that group is biased to one way or another
  
  I mean, they should (and are) probably be scared of NOT letting people go if the investigation found something nasty.
- The idea is that he must be treating people well or they'd leave.
  He doesn't seem to consider that there might be other factors that keep people at LMG compared to industry as a whole.
  
  That is their choice at that point.
