*edited* Who says that JP leaving was his decision? I have had alot of co-workers resign/retire when in actuality they were terminated/forced to leave. Maybe he was the one who came up with the 504, or NAR, or 54K high interest loan, SEC paperwork delays, or pps projections, etc, etc.. Think about it. EI did just send out an update after JP's leaving stating that the loan sent a bad signal to shareholders..... Just a thought.
