Seems to me this guy has been railroaded for trying to fix
a blunder. The numbers are screwy. According to the RT article
Burke's attorneys "also noted that the $500,000 salary and stock
options Next Jump had offered as compensation were âsubstantially
below what a retired four-star admiral could command in the private sector,â
implying that the scheme made little sense."
Something missing here. Dunno wut. Any guesses?
