"We didn't even notice our agent was committing crimes against your government" is a way to get an extradition notice, and/or whatever the (in this case Australian) equivalent of a CIA assassination squad is*, sent after you.
While I wouldn't put it past e.g. Musk or Zuckerberg to think themselves above such outcomes, and I trust the people who keep telling me Altman is just as bad, this is a really really terrible idea if he is doing that for something as mundane as a regulatory capture.
* depending on the details of the hack; this doesn't look like it would be that, but given they shouldn't have done this at all, there's no reason to predict a specific level of maximum damage before being caught, and hence no reason to predict a specific threshold for government response.
I think the equivalent of sending a CIA assassination squad is to introduce the person to some authentic Australian wildlife. Exit Sam Altman persued by funnel-web spiders, drop bears and crazed wombats.
I think Danger 5 are far too silly for that; if this was fictionalised, I think a more straightforward Bond plot, like how Elliot Carver in "Tomorrow Never Dies" was transparently a mix of Rupert Murdoch and Robert Maxwell.
That said, I can hear the accent in my head:
The name's Bond. Bruce bloody Bond.
Character's public domain soon, why not an Australian version?

Sounds like a great concept for the next season of Danger 5.
