Forbes has fired its longtime chief content officer, Randall Lane, after discovering he received an undisclosed payment of approximately $6 million from RJ Shook, founder of Shook Research, a company that has partnered with Forbes. Lane claims the payment was a personal gift for informal advice and that he made a mistake by not disclosing it. While Lane may not have broken criminal law, Forbes could potentially sue him under New York's "Faithless Servant" doctrine, which allows employers to recover compensation from disloyal employees. AI
