"And they can't even use RG as an effective scapegoat - don't work if everyone knows who gave the final blessings."
I don't think RG picked the companies we invested in. I think they were all tied together through acqaintances with the board too many coincidences. Turns out that Atam Lalchandani lived in incline village.
Maybe I am just being paranoid, or is it too much of a coincidence, but it seems each one our of investments has a tie in, every so slight, with a current, or a former member of PTSC or TPL. Scripps comes to mind and now Incline village. Think Chuck Moore. So how much research was really involved in their acquisitions and was RG really to blame for picking them, did he even make those choices at all ?
