A dutch connection again?

I didnt recognise the last CEO's name as he was only at MD less than 12 months, so I googled him and am wondering if the dutch connection may have something to do with Joep's RDM ship building bankrupt empire?

Robert Molsbergen Named President of MD Helicopters | Helihub - the Helicopter Industry Data Source

"Prior to his board seat at MD, Mr. Molsbergen was CEO and Chairman of the Board of EMTS, a Dutch major global marine services company engaged in shipbuilding and ship repair and maintenance, which serves internationally renowned ship owners, operators and managers."

Mr. Molsbergen went to university in Rotterdam as well, hmmm the plot thickens over at MD and who is really in charge?

While elsewhere there seems to be news of a boeing chap talking to LT.

"The rumor is that a current Boeing Chief pilot is going to announce his retirement soon. He has been in negotiation with Ms. Tilton to manage MD Helicopters in anticipation of a big subcontract to build and flight test Little Bird helicopters for the Boeing Company. Ms. Tilton has yet to deny that this is true."

Its mentioned in justhelicopters.com which also has news of the recent ceo departure at LT's request!
