I thought Rik would be a bigger man than this. I’ve had many conversations with him, and he’s always been super smart, kind and reasonable. I even took his son out for drinks and a cigar when he came in to Los Angeles. I wanted to meet his son not just as a kind gesture, but also to see what kind of person Rik is, because you can judge the parents from their children. Rik’s son is super smart as well, but more importantly, very sweet and kind and humble and I liked him a lot. I hoped that apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
I always thought of Rik as a good guy, who, at the end of the day would do the right thing, And at this last moment, taking the fall, and not letting all of us investors lose our money is the right thing. He would still own all his shares in the company, and it wouldn’t cost him any money, just a ding to his ego for a few years.
