Are those the same shareholders that voted to boot the brothers or are you talking for all of the shareholders? Including all of us that are not on the "inside"? I an a very long time shareholder that has no respect for the CEO and certainly do not believe he is forthright or honest.
No they don't. Some do, most do not. Most shareholders favor a CEO who maximizes their investment. Not one who hides information from them, promises them millions in revenue, but produces only $35,000.
