What is interesting to me is why Mr. Rees was "appointed" as CEO? Who appointed him? What is his connection to WRNW that brought this about?

Obviously, someone with these credentials doesn't just jump in the CEO role of a pinkie for nothing. That leads me to believe that there is more potential here than we maybe realize.

Risky? Sure, but maybe not as risky as it was with Earl Grey at the helm.
