Don't worry, George, it's not a matter of if Johnson is gone, but when. Every time GJ speaks to the investment community from here on out he will be tarred and feathered. His credability, integrity, and competence will be questioned for a very long time. Some people on the forum were wondering what's the big deal about people skills? In management, it means everything. I bet GJ was clueless that this mess was going on, think about it. He has a 400K salary with a boatload of risk free options. Why bother committing fraud?? The lack of admistrative skills has really bit GJ in the ass and will cost him his job sooner or later. From a hot shot executive to king of lawsuits, this guy's career has really spiraled in a hurry. I'd feel sorry for GJ except that he has more money in the bank than most people make in a lifetime. Pity is relative. Where there is one lawyer, there are ten. Sharks always go after easy victims. There will be more lawsuits than design wins this quarter. Mark.

Georgie, one of my favorite words and my nickname: PHOENIX <Johnson needs to go, S3 needs to bring in a competent CEO and get this behind them. It's not over here by any means. Many companies have survived much worse than this then rising to see the sky again as a grand and beautiful Phoenix.> As I have said before I wouldn't be surprised GJ be sent to their office in England and be out of the way until they can give him the ax. I agree fully this S3 story is not at the end but the beginning. As Mark Twain(???) once said "the news of my death has been greatly exaggerated." There is to much cash on the balance sheet and their fab & real estate assets are to high to just write them off. As well as hey let face it they are a major player in the graphic business, granted out of favor with Wall St, but that only acts to make them even a more attactive buy out candidate. Yes, its way to early to order that RIP head stone.
