i love it that you are trying to see both sides of the story - more power to you. However, the only rats were the ones behind the 249d. Did you know I was fired by the then chair of the company to stop IW launching a new one? It had no merit but was simply a threat to utterly destroy the company. IW knew that another 249d no matter how baseless would, at that time, have spelled the end of the company. So DC did what he had to do to try to protect shareholders interests. The threat of another 249d was a bitter and petty and ultimately self harming action by a daft old man. Pity it hurt all the other shareholders too in the process. The project has gone no where since and the share price is down 90%. Shareholders have suffered a lot of unnecessary dilution and value destruction for one mans ego. A great shame really.

if you want a clear example of greedy and ultimately self destructive behaviour you will struggle to find a better example.
