Looks like Peter Allen, VRS's "successful" CFO found a new home:

I just love these PR blurbs. He likely got the job because he did such a fine job "converting" a public company into a private one. This time he can convert a private one into a public one, collect the perks and then turn it back into a private one. That is if he lasts long enough. He learned from the "Tulpip Boss" how to be a cat. Ya know, that 7 lives thing. On second thought, he probably knew it before joining VRS. EDC teaches the same lessons.
