https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak#Post_Apple_caree...> Though permanently leaving Apple as an active employee in 1985, Wozniak chose to never remove himself from the official employee list, and continues to represent the company at events or in interviews. Today he receives a stipend from Apple for this role, estimated in 2006 to be US$120,000 per year.
At the top of the same page:
> As of November 2019, Wozniak has remained an employee of Apple in a ceremonial capacity since stepping down in 1985.
One of the references is to a tweet by Wozniak at https://twitter.com/stevewoz/status/1193424787248279552 directly concerning the Apple Card issue:
> I'm a current Apple employee and founder of the company and the same thing happened to us (10x) despite not having any separate assets or accounts. Some say the blame is on Goldman Sachs but the way Apple is attached, they should share responsibility.
