To be fair, the justice system convicted him of a misdemeanor, hardly enough cause to fire most founder/CEOs. This was a (justified) decision by the RadiumOne board to move on, and heavily motivated by the court of public opinion (due to RadiumOne's impending IPO).
- cvbncvbncgbc 12y agoI'm quoting a news article: The RadiumOne founder and CEO pleaded guilty to one count of domestic violence battery and one count of battery. Remaining charges were dismissed.
- leorocky 12y ago> the justice system convicted him of a misdemeanor, hardly enough cause to fire most founder/CEOs I think you may be under the impression that a misdemeanor is not a big deal. A misdemeanor is a serious criminal charge. It is not as life altering as a felony, but it's not a joke. You seem to be taking it as a civil citation or something. A misdemeanor isn't somewhere between a parking ticket and a real crime, it is a real crime.
- swombat 12y agoIndeed: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misdemeanor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misdemeanor ) > In the United States, the federal government generally considers a crime punishable with incarceration for one year or less to be a misdemeanor. All other crimes are considered felonies. Many states also employ this distinction.
- hga 12y agoA domestic violence misdemeanor is much more serious that you realize. For example, this guy can never touch a gun for the rest of his life (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Violence_Offender_Gun_Ban https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Violence_Offender_Gun...). In general, and I think quite properly when they're legit, domestic violence misdemeanors are viewed as much more serious than pretty much any other I can think of.
