Wow. I wish Mr. Pincus all the best and hope he can pull off a Steve Jobs - esque "job" and revive a company from the clutches of death.

It is quite possible that he can try to do something really innovative and pivot to a complete new direction. He certainly has the funds to do something big, given he was an early investor in facebook.

Pincus is no Jobs. He "pumped and dumped" Zynga, he'll be out of Zynga in less than a year. But I'm sure he'll make a lot of money off Zynga in the mean time ,like he did before.

I'll bet you $250 he's still CEO on April 8, 2016.

Go ahead and put your money where your mouth is. :)

Unfortunately it looks like longbets have to be at least 2 years. I routinely make wagers like this and always pay up if I lose (though my opponents sometimes welch). I'm super easy to find on the internet.

Nice try, Pincus :)
