Maybe he was busy having "inappropriate relations" with the people who should
have been "reviewing" my paperwork?

Tried to use them years ago and... turnaround time took _weeks_. Their web
interface just kept telling me they were "reviewing" then "need more info"
without any concrete info as to what was needed. Emails took days to get a
reply to.

Tried to use them again last year - same horrible turnaround/response time
(days/weeks).

I was able to use another institution and have my financial stuff handled and
done in less time than it took them to even clarify why the exact same info
other financial agents were fine with wasn't good enough (and, they never
did).

They followed up about 4 months later to ask if I still needed service.

The internal messaging is the same as external: "buisness is strong, we
continue to execute as we did, looking for a new ceo".

However, if you read between the lines, it sounds like the board might have
been looking for an excuse to oust Mike, who preferred high risk ventures and
expansions, and replace him with someone experienced in bringing companies to
an IPO. It seems like this is an attempt to kill two birds with one stone, in
terms of bad press.

leader,” Mr. Cagney said in a statement.

What's with these cowardly statements? Admit your mistakes, say you're no
longer the right leader, and that's why you're stepping down.
