The Wiggins hiring was met with a good deal of derision back then. I don't recall how long he was with the company before that particular attempt to make it appear that Berthold was actually going to do something worthwhile, but I guess they never gave up hope that could work together someday.
Berthold's repeated failures finally made it clear that he needed to step aside and let a new scammer take over, while, naturally, keeping his finger in the pie.
Still haven't heard what the reason is for the lawsuit against Sharon. I wonder if that had any bearing on Gary leaving.
