  I agree with the general sentiment there, but calling them 'crooks' is a step too far, they've been this side of the law or they would have been sued for sure.

    eh, it's not like I'm libeling them or anything.

      True enough :) Maddof = crook. Friis and Zennstrom = Shrewd. And shrewd isn't a compliment either, but some would think that's positive. (I'm not one of them)

  I think it's more that the people on the eBay side were either morons or in breach of their own fiduciary duty to eBay shareholders. The deal terms were voluntarily accepted by eBay; terms which were insane. Plus of course the total lack of any strategic value for eBay. It was the worst tech M&A of its size.
