    The author proves that a unital purely infinite simple \(C^*\)-algebra has \(C^*\)-exponential rank at most \(1+ \varepsilon\), and therefore has the property weak (FU): Every element of the identity component of the unitary group is norm limit of unitaries with finite spectrum. He also proves the appropriate modification of this statement for nonunital algebras.
