Why let the facts get in the way.
He made a comment that was deemed inappropriate.
There was never a comment on his behaviour towards anybody.
Everyone can be assured that TPG do not make any investments, including backing Ryanair's huge aircraft purchases, without a very satisfactory rate of return on their investment. Whether this is represented as dividends from profits, charges, or some other form, is entirely down to layers of tax accountants.

It would be good if you bothered to read the Ryanair Annual Report.
Great thing about it that it has to disclose what directors are paid, what shareholding they have, it is also required to disclose fees and payments to related parties or business where directors are involved in.
Everytime a director buys or sells shares has to be fully disclosed.
If you wish to make a claim that TPG or any other business connected to David Bonderman is benifitiing from his position as a member of the board of Ryanair and it is somehow hidden or not been disclosed I would seriously suggest looking at how much you can afford in legal fees.
As for TPG somehow backing Ryanair's aircraft purchases..................... get real.
People who are backing Ryanair's aircraft purchases are EXIM and have been for years. Additionally Ryanair has enough cash to be able to borrow easily to fund its own aircraft purchases.
As for TPG they are investors who seek Capital Growth and make their money from that but even now their shareholding if they have one in Ryanair is tiny.
