We will never know "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would say but "Retirement" is subjective. In any case he left a very wealth man and cost a lot of people a significant portion of their net worth. I am surprised that it took this long for him to leave ....or ......fill in the blanks.

Some people say he "saved the company" . If setting the building on fire and then putting it out is saving the company then so be it. He was supposed to be a seasoned professional and got duped.
I suspect that there were internal arguments against the Apple arrangement that were discounted. He was going for a home run when a sacrifice fly would have done the trick.
