If I became the CEO of the company, you better believe the first thing I would have done would have been to terminate the scumbag that ran it into the ground. He was the most negative asset the company had. This would have been a 'hostile' takeover. rog would never have given up the company as long as he thought he could pocket a dollar from it.
