A three-part investigative series by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reveals that Joshua Wright, a professor at George Mason University Law School, played a significant role in defending major tech companies like Google and Qualcomm from antitrust actions. The series uncovers that Wright shielded Big Tech from regulation while concealing conflicts of interest, accepting money from firms he defended, and engaging in inappropriate relationships with his students. The first part of the series has been published, with subsequent parts scheduled for release on Saturday and Sunday. Wright is also described as a prolific philanderer.
Incredible. Kudos @BrodyMullinsDC "Joshua Wright became Big Techβs indispensable fixer and a prolific philanderer, skirting conflict-of-interest standards to serve his amorous and financial pursuits. A lie cracked his life wide open." https://t.co/cToRNXu6U1 via @WSJ
