Alex Molinaroli, the CEO of Johnson Controls, is merging the company with Tyco despite facing controversies in his personal and professional life. Molinaroli had an extramarital affair and provided financial support to a Ponzi scheme artist, though investigations found no legal or ethical violations. Still, Johnson Controls awarded Molinaroli a pay raise. The $28.8 billion merger will create a large building systems company and allow both companies to lower their tax burden by relocating to Ireland. Critics say the deal is an example of corporate tax inversion that allows companies to avoid U.S. taxes.
