>He took an innovative company and destroyed it with finance shenanigans.
How many times have we seen this exact thing play out?
Xerox, Kodak, IBM, HP, etc.
Some of it is due to technological change, but even that isn't necessarily the problem but rather the company's response to it (failing to invest, focusing on financial engineering rather than innovation, asset stripping, enriching executives at the expense of everyone else, etc.) is.
