A tech company whose boss was filmed hugging a colleague at a Coldplay concert has said a purported statement from him expressing remorse is fake.

Internet sleuths identified the pair at the Boston concert as Andy Byron, CEO of tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People Officer. Byron was already CEO when Cabot was hired to the board in November 2024.

Polymarket traders have bet more than $200,000 on Andy Byron being out as Astronomer CEO by next Friday. 44% of the traders think he won't survive the episode.
