Daniel H. Schulman (born 19 January 1958) is an American business executive. He is president and CEO of PayPal and chairman of Symantec, formerly serving as group president of enterprise growth at American Express. The former president of Sprint's prepaid group and the founding CEO of Virgin Mobile, Schulman was responsible for American Express' global strategy to expand alternative mobile and online payment services, form new partnerships, and build revenue streams beyond the traditional card and travel businesses. Schulman began his business career at AT&T, working more than 18 years there and becoming the youngest member of the company's senior executive team, the AT&T Operations Group. Schulman started at an entry-level account management position; when he left AT&T, he was president of the $22 billion core consumer long distance business, overseeing roughly 40,000 employees.
He then became president and COO, and then CEO of Priceline.com. During his two years there, Priceline's annual revenues grew from a reported $20 million to about $1 billion.
In 2001, Richard Branson invited Schulman to become the founding CEO of Virgin Mobile USA, Inc. Schulman led the company from its national launch in 2002 to its becoming a public company in 2007, to its sale to Sprint Nextel in 2009.
His tenure at the company was noted by the company's growth as the "no hidden fees" carrier. By the time Schulman left Virgin Mobile, it had become one of the nation's top wireless carriers, with more than 5 million customers and $1.3 billion in annual sales. Following the sale of Virgin Mobile to Sprint Nextel, Schulman served as President of Sprint's Prepaid group until he moved to American Express.
On 30 September 2014, it was announced that Schulman would become CEO of PayPal, which will continue as a separate legal entity, split from eBay in the second half of 2015. His tenure was also marked by the $2.2 billion acquisition of European payment provider iZettle, PayPal's largest-ever purchase. He has stated that his goals at PayPal include giving financial tools to the 70 million Americans underserved by the U.S. financial system. During the 2018–19 United States federal government shutdown, Dan initiated the idea for PayPal to offer $500 in interest-free cash advances to furloughed U.S. government workers, committing to provide up to $25 million in interest free loans. As of April 2019, Schulman announced PayPal's plans to invest $500 million in Uber in order to connect the two marketplaces.

Docs allegedly show Imperial Japanese Army's chemical weapons unit's escape from China
KYOTO – Official documents have been found that appear to detail the escape by purported members of the former Imperial Japanese Army's chemical weapons research unit from occupied China around the end of World War II.
The documents were introduced on Feb. 8 by Katsuo Nishiyama, a professor emeritus at Shiga University of Medical Science, at a symposium held at Kyoto University in the west Japan city's Sakyo Ward.
During World War II, Unit 731 is believed to have carried out secret research including human experiments on Chinese prisoners of war, and developed biological weapons and poisonous gases. The official documents Nishiyama presented were originally compiled by the postwar Japanese government, and include information on how the unit pulled out of Manchuria (present-day Northeast China).
Nishiyama said, "Even now new documents are being discovered. If Kyoto University searches too, more may come to light. It's important for us to continue without giving in." The newly found documents were disclosed to Nishiyama by the National Archives of Japan in November 2019. Among them were files on the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department compiled in September 1950 by the Demobilization Bureau's Department of Administration for Demobilized Soldiers and Civilian Employees Third Section at the former Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Unit 731 is another name for the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department, which was the germ-warfare unit for the Japanese Kwantung Army which oversaw rule of occupied China. It was sometimes referred to as the Ishii unit, after Shiro Ishii, who studied medicine at Kyoto Imperial University (now Kyoto University) and was the director of Unit 731.
Included was a large map, measuring about 90 by 60 centimeters, which was called the "Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department overview of the course of movements diagram." It depicts the locations of the unit's main and supporting branches in the city of Harbin, and an escape route to Japan following the Soviet-Japanese War that took place from August to September 1945.
The Japanese government does not acknowledge that the military engaged in germ warfare. Nishiyama says that following close analysis of the documents, he has challenges ahead. "There are parts written in code that I don't understand. I want to go further in revealing the truth about the unit," he said.
