> the extent of their misbehavior and misconduct of Harvey Weinstein-level proportions

That’s a pretty significant accusation considering Weinstein is rotting in prison for the rest of his likely short existence.

I’ve never heard any of this except maybe one of them had an affair. Can you pull some of this out of the memory hole that it’s apparently been dropped into?

It's kinda hard to decide where to start. Probably that Sergey Brin said that the entire point of hiring female employees was to have sex with them. Kinda explains the affair(s) with subordinates. There was the whole bit where after Andy Rubin's sexual harassment situation was uncovered, Larry Page voluntarily pushed to give him an extra $90 on his way out the door as a thank you. There's an absolutely unreal fact that their chief legal officer for heaven's sake broke HR policy, fathered a kid with a subordinate, and when it became public, the subordinate was forced to move departments, rather than penalizing a close accomplice of Larry and Sergey's. Even Eric Schmidt, the freaking "adult in the room" hired to come make the place run professionally, made sure his mistress got a piece of the action and hired her in. This is just the stuff that's already publicly known, that I could run off the top of my head.

That entire top level of the company in that era is a radioactive wasteland of outright abuse, and everyone involved are billionaires or near billionaires. If you don't think there's a massive list of women with a bit more courage today to speak about their experiences with that group... Literally the best thing these awful excuses for humans can do is go hide on their private islands and enjoy the 1% of their wealth they can find a way to spend before they die of old age.
