FT: The OpenAI engineer charged with bugging an executive conference room had booked one-way flights to Saudi Arabia, prosecutors say. Newly unsealed filings show Abdulrahman Alfozan, his wife and a third relative held tickets for October 12, 3 days after his arrest. Prosecutors used those bookings to get the complaint sealed on October 8, arguing he had the means and incentive to flee if he learned of the case first.
