>>91237359>"This investigation will focus on... unauthorized information leakage...">all but officially confirming that they fully intend to fire the leaker(s) for exposing Aster's actions and their own willful inactionAnd it's just as well, since they cannot fire ONLY Aster without officially and expressly confirming that the docs in False's video are legit (they implied that the docs are legit by suspending Aster, but they haven't "officially" confirmed it). They'd also be firing a male member of a mixed-gender wave for being a sex pest, for the second time in the company's history - they absolutely do not want to lose face on that front, which is the whole reason why they didn't punish him months earlier.
There are exactly three scenarios in which they fire Aster, and all three involve firing Scarle and at least one other person:
>Fire Aster and his victims for their involvement in the scandal If they can convince the shareholders that the victims are actually perpetrators, then they can fire Aster without losing face; harassment victims are by definition involved in their own harassment
>Fire Aster's entire waveProbably the least likely outcome, since neither Ren, Maria, nor Aia are involved in the scandal in any way apart from being in the same wave as Aster; I can't even hazard a guess as to how they'd justify killing off Iluna to hide a sekuhara scandal
>Nuke the entire EN branchThey were already planning to do this to some degree or another regardless of the leak, but now they can do it with the technically true excuse of "widespread misconduct" as the "official" reason, instead of the actually true "plummeting branch revenue due to Selen's termination and the fan backlash" reason
If they don't fire Aster when they fire the leaker(s), and if by some miracle they don't fire the leakers by nuking the branch, then they're probably just gonna keep him quietly suspended for a few weeks or months before giving him a Yugo-style "graduation;" and it will likely be disguised as a graduation by contract expiration like Bon and Kunai, regardless of whether or not they actually wait until his contract is up before they Yugo him. It'll say something like:
>Thank you for supporting Nijisanji EN>We hereby announce that Aster Arcadia will graduate from Nijisanji EN on [the same date the notice gets published]>By the Liver's request, he will not have a graduation stream, and all stream archives will be set to privateFollowed by a sentence or two talking about how he was in Iluna for 2 and a half years, and some corporate platitudes about how he entertained his fans by exhibiting some generally positive character traits.
tldr the leaker(s) and victims will get Selen'd, and Aster will get Yugo'd (unless the whole branch gets VTA'd)
...
p.s. - nobody's getting sacked before the end of tomorrow's trading, because that's when the Q2 report will be published
