Mod­er­na blind­sided by in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to for­mer CFO Jorge Gomez, com­pa­ny says

It’s been days since Mod­er­na sent its new CFO Jorge Gomez pack­ing — af­ter just one day on the job — over an in­ves­ti­ga­tion launched by his for­mer em­ploy­er. Al­though that probe was ini­ti­at­ed back in March, Mod­er­na says it had no idea un­til last week.
