Conflicts of interest regarding what?
People always whisper about things they don't, can't, or wont have access to. Whispers are always way over the top because, well, people don't tend to gossip about the mundane when it comes to these things. It has to be secure and sensitive by its very nature. If it wasn't we'd have all kinds of problems.
I suggest reigning-in your imagination a little. It's okay to speculate, but in my experience when you get a lot of speculation, it's not long before wild ideas become cemented as fact because they are repeated enough times rather than any grain of truth comes forward.
Often, the truth is a let down. A bit boring. Almost always normal.
I'm just offering an opinion based on my experiences in a job where I was not constrained or compartmentalized because of the nature of what I did.
