Several employees have been interviewed in connection with the investigation by Facebook-parent Meta, the WSJ reported. The probe has been progress since last fall.
According to an earlier report by WSJ on her eve of her departure, the company was also examining whether she had improperly used company resources in planning her upcoming wedding.

Incidentally Sandberg cited a number of Facebook employees in the acknowledgments section of Option B.
The company is also investigating reports that Sandberg used Facebook media team in a bid to kill a negative story about her former partner, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.
