Remember that photo we just looked at? Well, hold onto your seat. I found the exact place those faces came from, and it wasn’t a boardroom. It was a stock photography site in Asia.

Basically, you can buy a "set" of a person—5 or 6 photos of them in different outfits so they look like a real employee. Once they're bought, the site adds a hidden digital "ownership" tag and hides the photos so nobody else uses the same "directors."

It’s one thing to want privacy, but is creating a whole fake persona the same thing? Why would a global company need to buy their leadership from a catalog?
