I'm not surprised given the person in charge, but I still feel bad for the guy. Being almost completely paralyzed, it makes total sense to jump at the chance to get some normalcy back.

I didn't expect 85% of the wires to already detach at this point. In a just society, the whole company would be shut down and the CEO put into a bottomless pit.

Turns out there's nothing wrong with the chip, but the patient missed his most recent payment so they hit the "auto repossess" button and it withdrew the fibers from his brain
