An internal investigation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found that its founder, Klaus Schwab, engaged in unauthorized spending, workplace misconduct, and inappropriate behavior toward female employees. The probe also uncovered allegations that Schwab manipulated WEF research data to discredit Brexit, raising concerns about the organization's impartiality. Schwab and his wife reportedly benefited from over $1 million in questionable travel expenses. Schwab has denied all accusations, but the scandal has sparked a crisis of credibility for the WEF and its leadership. The controversy has also raised broader questions about elite influence, corporate governance, and the legitimacy of the WEF's ESG framework.
