Wasn't aware, but suspected as much. He could not still be on the EC and talking like that. Still appreciate the man, his efforts, can't speak to capabilities or reasons why...that is really his private business. We all have our own challenges, pressure points and capacities that never should be subject to judgement by others because they were not in the arena.
here's a tribute from long ago written by a worthy man.
Like I said before, I'm in until the fat lady sings. Goffman hasn't yet had his chance to illuminate the valuation issues, and I note that the disclosure document, though voluminous isn't really very clear, such as the Diacetal claims (tort liability), insurance, or where the other unaudited numbers actually came from that were used in the POR valuation.
