Intel CEO Brian Krzanich is still under scrutiny after it was discovered that he had sold hundreds of thousands of his shares after the company found out about major security flaws in its chips.
The company has said the trades were part of a predetermined stock sale plan common among chief executives, but the timing of that planned program is still odd.
That’s just one reason it should be interesting to watch his keynote from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Monday.
It’s pretty unlikely that Krzanich would willingly bring up his purge of the shares (estimated at $25 million). We’ll be watching to see how he positions himself both as Intel’s CEO (for now), given that his company is still trying to fix the massive flaws found in its chips.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
