How about conflict of interest? He sells some $64m of goods per year to CML - how the hell can that be allowed to happen. If they break CML up who do you you think will be at the front of the queue to buy the best bits, and if so with all the inside information at his fingertips.
This "retail" experience is a furphy - he's on the board, not running the day to day stuff.
He's extremely litigious - they eight took weeks to get out a correctly worded release that didn't leave themselves open to a writ!
If he stays - the rest have to go.
As far as your reference to his religion - I'm surprised at you - I don't have any problems with buddhists (is he one?)
I am very close to a merchant banker who refused the Yannon deal and have a good insight into the whole transaction - let's just say if it walk like a duck etc.
