Okay, get out your tin foil hats conspiracy rangers, there’s a good one circulating about Stephen Elop, the possible successor to outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer. Dunno, the more you hear, the crazier it gets and the more you want to believe in it simply because it starts to make sense....or not. :D

Still, in spite of what can only be described as his abject failure, Elop is not only the current frontrunner to replace outgoing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, but he’s also getting a handsome payout once Microsoft’s deal with Nokia is finalized.

Eh... business as usual in the corporate world. Just like politicians, they just don't even bother to try and hide how corrupt and crooked everything is anymore since everyone already pretty much already knows and they more or less control the world already anyway...
 
There might be an EU investigation about this, nothing official or in writing yet but there is a lot of murmuring of how suspicious the entire affair is by people big and small around Scandinavia and Brussels (got two contacts in the actual parliament), that it indeed is a badly hidden should-be-punished-hardest plot and not pure incompetency at a blind idiot got level or Maybelline.
 
It was the board’s job to defend the company against a bad CEO, that is who should be punished. Trust me every company that takes a new CEO risks a golden parachute. If the investors and board allow it, then it is their own fault.

If this conspiracy is sort of or wholly true. Then Elop is a freaking genius and worth millions more than they paid him. Because it would assume that MS who couldn't seem to get their act together with mobile had orchestrated this plan fairly far ahead of time. But that is also contingent on Nokia actually panning out as a good investment and that seems unlikely given Nokia no longer has any core competencies. More likely Nokia is actually a going to cost MS more then they will ever make out of it. The reality is the control of the Mobile market is going to be driven by the technology giants in Asia who can control the supply chain. Korea then China.

Making that grinning clown CEO of MS would be the comedy gift that keeps on giving.
 
Just ask yourself this, if you were a huge owner of MS stock, and were going to get paid $25 million to sell Nokia's phone division to MS, wouldn't you sell it to MS for as cheap a price as you could?

It was in Elop's own financial interest to gut Nokia as quickly as possible and sell it to MS for a cheap price.
 
Seriously, this was out last week.

hard is SO freaking far behind the news.

This is basically fact by now...Microsoft and Elop in cohoots to bury Noki and sell out
