Scarymucci was starting his new job BEFORE the sale of his company to CHINA closed.
He was already working in the WH, but wasn't officially starting till Aug. 15. But the sale wasn't set to close till the END of the summer.
That would be a big no-no. And the sale is still being investigated by regulators.
Maybe the WH finally figured this out.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Anthony Scaramucci's swift exit as U.S. President Donald Trump's communications director on Monday has no bearing on the pending sale of the firm he founded, SkyBridge Capital, parties involved in the deal said.
"The transaction remains on track and is expected to close by the end of the summer," said Robert Rendine, a spokesman for HNA Capital U.S., a subsidiary of Chinese conglomerate HNA Group.
HNA, along with holding company Ron Transatlantic EG, in January announced an agreement to purchase a majority stake in SkyBridge, the New York-based hedge fund investment firm. The sale came as Scaramucci planned to join the Trump administration, although it took months for a role to materialize and was not the one he initially anticipated.

The sale of SkyBridge is under review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, known as CFIUS. A spokesman for the Treasury Department, which chairs CFIUS, did not respond to an email request for comment.
