:laugh: He was the founder of an extremely successful jewellery chain, in the 1980s, which would sell cheap jewellery. Pretty much every high street had a branch. However, he made the mistake of saying twice, once in a conference and once on a BBC programme, that the jewellery was "total cr#p". The share price tanked overnight and the Ratners stores had to close as the insulted customers stopped buying from them.

Yeah, I looked him up. Say what you want about the man, he was refreshingly honest. :laugh:

He may be a f***ing a**hole, but with a net worth of over $100 million he's certainly not a f***ing idiot. Or at the very least, he's doing something right.

By the evidence, including his bank account, he's pretty fucking good at presenting the MBA/CEO mentality to shareholders, that they love so fucking much.

I believe this is the very same genius who "invented" microtransactions while CEO of EA. Ill-educated over-ambitious low-integrity street-smart prick.

Marketing (lying convincingly) yourself as some CEO genius, when you're not, can easily bilk money out of shareholders. People fall for marketing tactics all the time if they don't know what to look for. The most shining current example of this is Trump. He's a complete fraud who got millions of people to vote for him and scam money out of people and companies who believed his bullshit. He pushed his lying-ass too far and now his entire house of cards is crashing down around him. Given the "golden parachutes" executive level people get, it's a win-win for these people no matter how bad they are at their jobs. That bullshit needs to end. CEOs like this guy eventually (hopefully) end up not being CEOs anymore because they leave a track record of corporate corpses and sketchy histories of blunders, like the Unity debacle, in their wake. Shareholders need to hold corporate boards more accountable for maintaining their "friends and family" networks, shuffling these bad apples around.

It's only going to get worse. We're not done with this recession. Those in power already know. That's why the squeezing and nagging by companies are worse. Of course, the mind controlling media will flat-out lie to you about where we are headed, but their goal is keeping people ignorant and glued to the TV - not the truth.

There was also the little bit about him selling more Unity shares than buying ... before the announcement; in fact, it was mostly, or all, selling.
