Hugel, stop worrying for JB.
The only person that sullied JB's reputation was JB. He was no entrepreneur except in his own mind. Pity the people that he uprooted to follow his impossible dream. I came across JB in a business context and wished I hadn't. Mentiroso is spot on. No one should waste time feeling sorry for this guy; half of Bizav saw JR for what it was; the other half now know. So now we all know for next time: if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, looks like a duck....
End of story.
