Re. What happened to the staff? Your guess is as good as mine Walter and would also hope that it is a temporary situation. Shores either has something in the works or he doesn't. If he doesn't and the way this situation has gone down will certainly not help his image.
Re. What is the value of TXPO without these Siemens team? IMO, until there are significant ONT sales TXP would have a better valuation without Iphotonics simply because they would not have the OPEX of Iphotonics and assuming they eliminated YA with the sale of that division.
