Not disputing your main point, but they fired CEO John Riccitiello over this.

"fired" is a bit of a strong word for stuffing his ass so full of money it spewing out was what ejected him from the building.

They did but unfortunately the idiots that thought hiring him was a good idea are still there

Excuse you, but Riccitiello retired. Sure, it was at the last minute with absolutely no transition plan ahead of time, but it was totally voluntary and not at all forced by the board!
