@gamingonlinux No doubt with a big fat golden parachute so he can go be a parasite on another host.
@gamingonlinux necessary, but insufficient
@gamingonlinux *insert Groose's theme music here*
@gamingonlinux it’s absurd that, even after his career of trash decisions, i am surprised he incurred something like a consequence.
@gamingonlinux WOW, didn’t expect Jim Whitehurst to pop up, but good for them!
@gamingonlinux Which company will he destroy now?
@gamingonlinux I wonder what kind of insane bull*it he will come-up with in his next job...

@gamingonlinux good riddance, it is doubtful he was the sole influence behind units actions, it'll take more than his departure to fix (dis)Unity.

Hopefully other companies might be wary of hiring such an infamous man who will inevitably bring bad PR. It's often possible to get away with one or two scandals but reputation is becoming an increasingly relevant in corporate strategy. Maybe Dovetail will hire him...

@gamingonlinux still hoping he gets prosecuted for insider trading.
