OK...the patents.
Pretend you are the CEO of an admitted failed company. And any reasonable person will agree WM is a failed company. As the CEO you are sitting on patents worth according to a couple here $1,000,000,000. (excuse me while I laugh my butt off). Ok, back to my story
As the CEO, you own these patents. Would any logical person with that kind of money staring him in the face, not try to sell these patents. $1bil, $500mil. Hell, even $100mil?
Giles may be completely incompetent (he is) but it's highly unlikely he is that damn stupid. The patents are of almost no value. If they are, they would have been sold already. Period. No maybe this or maybe that. No, well if he waits for the "emerging market crap". The patents would be sold. Waiting for this mysterious market is a major, major gamble. ( one that in reality insecure going to happen) Take the money and run.
If I was in that position or any logical person was in that position the patents would have been sold a long time ago. Think about it. Walk away from $1bil? Who in their right mind would do that?
