Due to censorship by Argo the thread is locked but it is interesting to see a major Anti Amiga Inc webmaster turn in to a Genesi attacker and a certain website defender.

Interesting thread on Amiga.org : Comment 296 of 382 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bernie Meyer on 08-Sep-2004 20:22 GMT | In reply to Comment 293 (Sammy Nordström): First of all, Garry Hare never did deny that he is CEO. He denied a long long time later that he *was* CEO --- at the time in question his voice was noticably absent.Secondly: Probably because he wasn't CEO. He probably was the CEO designate; Considering that the title on his CEO business card was "Chairman/CEO", it's likely that there is a board which needs to sit and actually officially make changes. Considering that by McBill's account, the board is completely controlled by "Dutch investors", that wouldn't be more than a formality, of course, so if the Dutch investors and GH agree to make him CEO at the next scheduled board meeting, for all practical intents and purposes he *is* CEO.... But not on paper.Regardless --- why would McBill, under oath, testify that he *isn't* CEO on March 30th, 2003? If he was indeed CEO, that's perjury, which AFAIK is not something to commit lightly. Certainly lying under oath to a judge is more severe than lying in press releases to the Amiga community.Until somebody puts up a more plausible explanation, I'll stick with GH behaving as acting CEO of AI during that time, on behalf of Itec, until such time as Itec realized that AI was a lost cause, and switched from salvage-the-company into strip-the-assets mode. While salvage was still the plan, McBill was probably told in no uncertain terms that it wasn't his company, it wasn't his investment on the line, and unless he wanted to reap his just rewards for blowing through 8 figure funding with nothing to show, he better fall in line RIGHT NOW and do whatever this new guy we are sending, who will be the new CEO, says. To the letter. Or else! Which might explain why McBill (who has demonstrated a certain lack of understanding of formal procedures on a number of occasions) might have been under the (presumably mistaken) impression that he was no longer CEO on March 30th.You are welcome to come up with a better scenario of what happened. But you will have to make it fit *all* known observations, not just the ones that fit your world view. |
