Are you sure?? Ok he started up easyjet with his dads billions....everything else the entrepenuer has touch has come to nought!! easycinema/rentacar/cruises/internetcafe...anyone!
You can't just write him off like that, he has been successful with easyBus, easyHotel (which keeps on growing!), easyVan and easyOffice among others. easyHotel is doing particularly well it seems.

That's business - not everything you touch turns to gold! He faced major challenges in the film industry with easyCinema which just wouldn't let them show first-run films, even if he paid the going rate! Who needs easyInternetcafe anymore? The market has changed.

I am not defending him, but I think it's unfair to judge him like you are doing. Yes, his behaviour is unprofessional. SRB has had failures too. Entrepreneurs take risks and sometimes they backfire!
