I'm not sure that invalidates anything I said. It's true that the buck stops with the CEO. It was after all, his decision to make the deal. My point was what are you going to sue him for? He did the right thing. He made up his mind, ran it past the board for approval, ran it past finance for approval, got an outside auditor to do due diligence. All approved. The deal went through. It turned out to be a stupendously bad business decision. Should twitter be able to sue the developer who made the incredibly bad design decision to use ruby on rails and architect their system as a blog rather than than a message queue? Bad decisions happen, people loose their jobs over them. it's much harder to sue someone when they've done the due diligence and had the decision signed off by many other people.
