While the whole of GF is busy taking ethics and code of conduct training, to hell with says CTO.
7nm program is on indefinite hold, EUV tools were bought or sc-aped or are on sale. Rumor mill said that the CTO, who is a self-proclaimed American technologist, and business executive, the first one to attend college from his family is related to ASML's EUV leader (probably managing GF EUV account). Hmm, wondering how the whole ethics department is going to handle this. Anyways as per GF's code of conduct and ethics business process this will be swiped under the rug.
