I think people need to get some perspective. ABC is not the only company who's share price has declined dramatically forcing CEO's and directors to sell shares. They all leverage themselves as much as possible, it's how you make money so when the share price drops they are forced to sell. No biggie he's still worth a mint. People just don't like Eddy so they focus on ABC more than on the other companies going through the same thing.
I think your friend needs to find out more herself. If she finds out wages are low then she doesn't have to accept the job. No biggie. At the end of the day it is a business and unfortunately that will mean that many of the rumours are true - they will pay as little as they can get away with, they will have as few staff as is necessary and some staff will not be the best people to look after kids.
As for him and his wife getting divorced, well yeah that's to protect their assets. In the event that he does go bankrupt as long as they've been divorced one year she can keep everything under her name. So he's got to hang on for a year if it's as bad as the media would like us to believe.
