Gordon Bethune was given a golden parachute to leave early. He stood up at a board meeting and agreed to leave if Bonderman left. I don't think Bonderman ever thought he would do it. I wish Gordon was still here but he did a huge favor to all of us by getting rid of Bonderman and his cronies. At the time there was a huge rift between Gordon and the portion of the Board supporting Bondeman.
