Coz, I know you are a big Milken fan and I do give him some credit to a degree. Because he did pull off one of the biggest shim shames of the century and got to keep a lot of the loot. Looking back, why would anyone one buy a bond with the first word starting in JUNK. He made alot of money on to many dollars chasing quick returns and companies looking to gobble up the world with the backing of Junk. Costello's ego is over inflated. He got couple of awards, built a great company(with the help of alot of bright and talented people) and know wants to rule the world with co-egomaniacs or at least he may settle to be a politician. As an investor I would have liked to see him stick around to finish off Avant. Looking at Hsu and Costello's profile I can see how these two egotistical individuals could battle it out.

Another bit of speculation. Costello not only resigned as the CEO, but also resigned from the board. This is very drastic. I think the truth will come out soon. BTW, did you know that CDN board is populated by former Apple Execs? It has nothing to do with this case, I just think is is rather strange. - Chung >>>> Paul, >>>>>He was but that was still pocket change for Mike. I don't know what Joe was thinking about when he joined Milken. My best guess is money, greed and power. It seems like Hsu, Joe, Milken, and the Valley have alot in common. Along with alot of other people, granted!>>>>> Costello was probably thinking " here is my chance to work with a genius unparalled in modern history" Coz <<<
