Forbes's top editor left the company last month.

His name is Randall Lane.

He left after a conflict of interest.

The conflict was not shared with people.

The New York Times said he was fired.

Shook is the founder of Shook Research.

That firm works with Forbes.

Then he paid Lane.

An email from July 23 said Lane no longer works for Forbes.
