He had 80 Million in capital invested in his company. When it sold, the company went for 40 million. 50 cents on the dollar. I can imagine those stockholders at that meeting saying "Yeah, whatever, just let us get something back. I shoulda invested in ISS." His enormous ego and elitism runs counter to any good business practice. No wonder his security company was floundering- Rather than watching for security violations, his team must have been cursing software vendors for making buggy software instead.

Take a look at this article. Here he lashes out at the bad security companies -- companies that are more hype than solution. This from counterpane??!? Give me a break. Can't believe how out of touch he is with reality. http://tinyurl.com/24aqek Meanwhile Counterpane was a fraud - and a pathetic security solution. Now he gives a lecture saying the very industry where by he pays his rent is a sham and should go away. He is seriously losing his mind. Such a dolt. Take a look at this article.
