Interesting. Christiansen botched the PortaCom merger in 1996 with MacLellan.

Christiansen, the CFO, apparently didn't understand the tax implications. Treading was halted when the stock tanked.

That was September 1996. Within weeks of this debacle, Christiansen quit or was fired from PortaCom.

on MacLellan's Linked-In page, it says " Mr. MacLellan left PortaCom in March 1998 to pursue multiple China based telecommunications opportunities. " That's a polite way to say it -- PortaCom filed for bankruptcy of PortaCom in March 1998.

Here's a fun drinking game -- go to Mac's LinkedIn page:

Now read his CV and take a shot of whiskey every time you see the name of a company that Mac drove into BK or turned into a zombie.

but don't plan on driving for a while because you're going to be too drunk to drive.
