He started as a mechanic and from his business decisions he is no wimp. You can knock him all you want for what happened to XJT but i think a lot of it was inevitable. He could have sat behind his desk and walked away from a bankrupt company with his bonus. he took a lot of flak from inside and outside his company all while retaining the respect of his employees.
