Well I'll be blowed, atlast a light is on, but I suspect only to rewrite the context of any lingering legacy.
These Einsteins were paid to look after the shareholder interest's and history speaks for itself on what actually happened and what they tried to do.
Sure,the place would have been trashed if the bid had been successful, and rather than give any credit for what exists now, I would suggest it was DESPITE the management rather than anything they actually achieved, whilst undoubtedly looking for post retirement gigs.
Remember the cost to the company of all these events in $$$ and distraction, my god they could have even been growing or building the company, rather than basking in the glory of lawyers, bankers and related corporate leeches.
The other real question is whether anthropy is better with or without such kind offers, as it appears some still dont get $$$ are not everything and these gigs cannot be bought.
