## Resource

TPG’s CEO Joel Thickins pleaded guilty to reckless driving and refusing a blood test, facing a fine and nine-month ban — a move that compounds mounting scandal as the firm grapples with allegations of a toxic workplace culture involving substance abuse. Despite launching internal investigations into both incidents, TPG has withheld findings, promising future updates while Thickins apologized for letting down his community.
