I Want To Know The Most Messed Up Thing Your Boss Has Ever Done
By now, you've likely caught a case of secondhand embarrassment after the former CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron, was caught on a kiss-cam allegedly cheating on his partner with another member of the company, which went viral and subsequently led to his resignation from his role. It's been the talk of the internet for the last week, even prompting Coldplay to warn their audience first before panning the camera at random. One could imagine how many questions the employees of Astronomer had to field in the wake of the incident. With that said, Byron certainly isn't the first CEO to get caught up in a scandal. I'm positive that the majority of bosses and CEOs in this world have probably found themselves in some sort of controversy, though maybe it wasn't as it was, though. With that said, I want to ask the BuzzFeed Community: What is the most messed-up and wildest thing that your boss or CEO has ever done? Did your CEO get caught having an affair with the secretary, and promote her instead of firing her? How about that time your manager asked the team to "tighten budgets" while he expensed a Rolex? Was there ever an incident where your CEO faked climate credentials just to get good PR with a high-profile client? Did your CEO launch a "sustainability" campaign while flying private jets to Coachella? Has your boss ever told you to 'be more passionate about the mission' while laying you off without severance? Did your company claim to be 'family first' while denying your coworker parental leave? Whatever the scandal was, big or small, we want to know the wildest and most messed-up things you've ever witnessed your CEO or boss do. If you have some wild stories about your current or former boss/CEO/employer, drop them in the comment section below. However, if you prefer remaining anonymous, feel free to fill out the form below.

Royal De Versailles Welcomes H. Moser & Cie With POP Collection Event
Bertrand Meylan Toronto's luxury watch scene has always had its crown jewel in Royal De Versailles, Canada's largest and most extravagant watch and jewelry retailer. Known for its extensive Rolex selection, showcased in a boutique fully renovated in 2023 with marble counters and a striking colour palette perfectly in tune with Rolex branding, RDV has long been the destination for collectors in search of both breadth and exclusivity. Over the decades, the retailer has offered some of watchmaking's most prestigious names, and while certain brands such as Audemars Piguet have since shifted to their own boutique networks, RDV continues to evolve, focusing on partners that offer exceptional creativity and horological significance. Moser Vantablack Dial That ethos was on full display on June 12th, 2025, when RDV officially celebrated the arrival of H. Moser & Cie with a launch event at Toronto's Storys Building. It was an evening that reflected not only the momentum of this independent Swiss manufacturer but also RDV's ongoing ambition to broaden its offering to some of the most interesting names in watchmaking today. 2025 Moser Novelties Guests were welcomed by Moser's CEO, Bertrand Meylan, who spoke passionately about the brand's philosophy of innovation rooted in independent craftsmanship. A wide range of Moser watches was on hand, including some of the latest 2025 novelties and, notably, the new POP collection, a vibrant take on Moser's refined design language, featuring playful dial colours and bold strap pairings. Moser POP Collection Candy The décor carried this theme through in clever ways, with mini POP stands displaying watches surrounded by candy in matching tones, creating a whimsical yet luxurious atmosphere that felt true to both the collection and the spirit of the evening. Moser POP Collection Stand For collectors, the addition of Moser to RDV's already impressive roster marks an attractive milestone. Moser has become one of the most talked-about independents in recent years, winning praise for pieces like the minimalist Endeavour Centre Seconds with its gradient fumé dials, the sculptural Streamliner chronograph, and its technically ingenious perpetual calendar that adjusts almost intuitively. Often unconventional, like their Vantablack dials, Moser brings something fresh to the Canadian market, and its new POP collection amplifies this creative edge even further. POP Collection RDV's decision to embrace a brand with this kind of artistic and mechanical boldness signals an openness to the future of watch collecting. For years, its status as Canada's premier retailer has been secured by its scale and by its strong relationship with Rolex, but the addition of Moser shows a current willingness to explore a more niche side of the industry and tap into a new segment of dedicated watch collectors. For Moser, meanwhile, partnering with Canada's largest watch retailer provides access to a collector base eager for innovation but unwilling to compromise on traditional horological excellence. POP Collection Tourbillon The result is a partnership that feels mutually beneficial, a convergence of a historic Canadian luxury institution with one of Switzerland's fastest-growing independents. With the full Moser lineup (minus boutique-only exclusives) now available through Royal De Versailles, and with events like this launch showcasing just how much energy exists around the brand, it's clear that both RDV and Moser are poised to make an impact on the Canadian watch landscape for years to come.

Newport money-laundering family caught with £14k cash
Molly Cook, 23, had £9,800 in her bedroom while her drug-dealing brothers Harry Cook, 30, and Nico Cook, 32, were found with £2,500 and £1,700 respectively. The three siblings from Newport were sentenced at the city's crown court for a number of different offences. Harry Cook, who was jailed for five years and seven months last summer for drug trafficking, admitted possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession of criminal property and possession of cannabis. Nico Cook pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis, possession of criminal property and possession of cannabis. Their sister Molly Cook admitted possession of criminal property and possession of cannabis. Their offences date back more than two years to November 17, 2022. This drew heavy criticism from their barristers over the poor handling of the case by the police and CPS. The judge described the extraordinary delay as "beyond belief". Ruth Smith, prosecuting, said matters started to unravel for the trio when Harry Cook was found with 23 wraps of cocaine in a stolen BMW car on Stockton Road in Newport. He was wearing a £19,000 Rolex at the time. As he was being arrested, he shouted out to a passer-by to tell his brother he had been arrested. Nico Cook was picked up shortly after he was spotted in a Volkswagen car. High value designer gear, cash and a small amount of cannabis were found when police raided the family home on Cumberland Road. Harry Cook has three previous convictions for trafficking class A drugs while Nico Cook was jailed for 40 months in 2017 for possession with intent to supply cocaine. Sol Hartley representing Harry Cook said: 'There is no explanation as to why it has taken so long to bring these matters to court.' He added that his client is due to be released from his current jail sentence on September 2, 2026. Paul Hewitt for Nico Cook told the court the defendant suffers with mental health difficulties. William Bebb representing Molly Cook said she has no previous convictions and runs her own domestic cleaning business. Judge Celia Hughes said: 'The delay in the case is beyond belief.' She told Harry Cook: 'You flaunted your lifestyle.' Harry Cook was jailed for 45 months and Nico Cook sent to prison for 18 weeks. Molly Cook was fined £1,320. All three defendants will also have to pay a victim surcharge. The court ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the drugs.
