NEW: This is how former L3Harris Trenchant boss Peter Williams was able to steal zero-days worth millions of dollars and sell them to a Russian broker, based on court documents and interviews with his former colleagues.
A former Trenchant employee told me that “no one had any supervision over [Williams] at all. He was kind of allowed to do things the way he wanted to.”
“He was, in my opinion, perceived to be beyond reproach,” the former employee, who has knowledge of Trenchant's IT systems, told me.
