>>> I suppose you don't think the BOD had anything to do with HFS acquiring CUC? Maybe Henry Silverman should put the board on probation for not guiding him in such a way that allowed him to find the massive fraud that Forbes empire entailed !

There is no doubt of the culpability of Mr. Forbes. The board of directors does not have responsibility for daily operations of the enterprise. The board of directors (in theory anyway) is supposed to have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders to insure that the management exercises it's day-to-day activities in the best interests of the shareholders. Since that was not the case in the CUC acquisition; monitored performance of Mr. Silverman is warranted to insure that this debacle is not repeated.

Perhaps the key shareholders should create an oversight committee such as Warren Buffet did several years ago with Saloman Brothers.
