Thank him? He and Lewin came in at ~$1.10 a share promising to increase the share price. Not only did he fail spectacularly - seems he won't take the blame and apologise for the destruction ~$0.85/share or nearly $200,000,000 of shareholder funds. It is little consolation that he seems to have cost himself $8m for his folly.
Come on Max - apologise to the shareholders and tell us just how wrong you and Lewin were.
