EVIO Inc (EVIO)

Maybe it's cheaper and easier than paying him severance? Maybe to send the message that while he may be inept, the company is still on reasonable terms with him - i.e. he hasn't done anything criminal or fraudulent with our books? Maybe as a gesture of goodwill, to give him more time to exercise his options that would otherwise certainly face an accelerated expiry? Maybe so he is around to ask all the questions that will undoubtedly come up as someone else gets up to speed? I have no idea how big the accounting department is at Evio, but I have a hard time imagining it is more than a book keeper and/or a clerk or two, overseen bby whoever the CFO is/was... there are a lot of moving parts to address - especially with a public company - and one that is trying to grow quickly, as this one is, will be even harder to keep up with - maybe two heads are better than one for a while? I dunno... or maybe it's what you surmise: nasty mutual backscratching, and nefarious behaviour... but I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt a little bit longer.
