Reports say OpenAI engineer Abdulrahman Alfozan was arrested on October 9 after allegedly planting a concealed recording device in the company’s San Francisco office. Prosecutors reportedly said he had booked one-way tickets to Saudi Arabia for October 12 for himself, his wife and another family member, three days after his arrest (Cointelegraph, Polymarket, X post citing a newly unsealed filing). The reports describe allegations and prosecutors’ concerns that he might flee if he learned of the investigation; the material available here does not establish whether the tickets were used or independently confirm the filing’s details.
