I have been following this story because one of my MAG is following it. The conspiracy theories abound. I think it is exactly what has leaked out. O' Keef was a prick to work for and was disruptive in the workplace. Take notice, he nor any of his employees are saying different.
One of the reasons I left West Marine was the new CEO was a prick, talked out both sides of his mouth, used company funds questionably, etc. About 12-months post my departure, the board fired him. Gave him a VERY nice golden parachute.
I am sure that O'Keef received quite a nice golden parachute.
Me, I will just sit back and judge PV on any up-and-coming "reveals" in the near future.
