　A video released on the 3rd by People v.Preds on YouTube channel shows that Cacioppo had planned a rendezvous with a man who thought he was a 15-year-old. According to LinkedIn's profile, he served as a senior vice president at SIE for the past eight years, but was fired for the video.

　"We have recognized the situation and the problem employees have been laid off," Sony said in an email on the 4th. "

　In the video, the photographer was photographed walking towards a house at night. At the door stood a suspected Mr. Cacioppo in a "PS5" shirt. The photographer called the man "Jeff". When he wanted to ask a question, the man came home, refused to answer and closed the door. The photographer started shouting again to call the police.

　The Google Drive link posted on the video description bar shows Cacioppo talking to a person who says he is 15 on Grindr, a social networking app for gay, gay, bisexual, transgender and Quayan people. In the screenshot of the conversation, the two exchange photos and discuss sexual behavior. Mr. Cacioppo told the bait that his name was Jeff and it was said that he had told him his address. Bait tells Uber he's going to his place, and he's waiting for him outside.

　It is reported that the technology company employees photographed by People v.Preds trying to get in touch with minors seem to be more than just Mr. Cacioppo. It is reported that in October, a person said to be Todd Wiseman installed an interview with a 15-year-old boy on Grindr.

　According to LinkedIn's profile, he is a senior account manager at NVIDIA. A spokesman for NVIDIA said that although he does not currently belong to the company, he is a former employee. The company declined to answer questions about whether the People v.Preds video led to the termination of jobs.
