Previously chaired- Chaired? Chairman of the Board of Directors? Incorrect. Chief Executive Officer. Not the same.

Own shares= no value. Zero until cashed. He's no requirement to liquidate his personal portfolio on assuming public office. That doesn't fly.

"is still paid"- Deferred salary from past employment. Accrued interest is the only income-generating element.

Where's the THEFT? THEFT is a crime. Conflict of Interest is not THEFT. Further, there's a huge difference between a conflict of interest based upon a decision made for personal gain and a POTENTIAL conflict of interest that has never actualized. You've not made that case at all. If anything, a personal wealth between $19-85 million creates a great deal of immunity and freedom from leverage by past relationships.

I don't see theft and don't like the casual accusation by a foreigner. It's no joke to a man's reputation and neither are you funny for the slander. No public official's financial disclosure in America has been so carefully scrutinized. Whether there's impropriety or, worse, criminal behavior has yet to be established by far better investigators than you.

Did you know that his after-tax proceeds from his unexercised stock-options are pledged to charity? He did so in 2003-

He flies in rarified air and moves with the heaviest hitters in the world. I think he's smarter than THEFT and I find that your off-hand slag constitutes nothing of substance but predictable in any case.

You've gone from THEFT OF PUBLIC MONIES to hints of a conflict of interest? Tiresome and all-too-common.
