News: KKL Kollakorn Corporation says David Matthews has accepted position of CEO, page-20

Yes I agree, he could have left IBM for any number of reasons? but I very much doubt he would have joined a small company like Kallakorn without having a very good reason for doing so?
I also doubt it would be the attraction of money somehow? especially when most in the market thought that KKL may not be around much longer and was almost bankrupt?
I really think he knows exactly what is coming and wants to be a big part of that in my opinion.
