Summary: Chris Liddell leaves Microsoft and leaves some open questions
Having dumped his shares in Microsoft [1, 2] (the stock is artificially boosted/inflated), the CFO of Microsoft finally decides to leave. Chris Liddell, whom Reuters characterised as an "odd choice" last year, seems to have had enough.
Given the history of financial fraud at Microsoft [
1,
2,
3] (never properly resolved), this departure may rightly spur speculations. One must remember that
Microsoft is borrowing money, so Chris Liddell is leaving at the right time. Vista 7
has changed nothing and a top Windows executive also
left Microsoft upon its release, just days before
Microsoft announced more layoffs.
From
The Register:
Microsoft is saying goodbye to its chief beancounter, Chris Liddell, after four and a half years in the post.
More coverage can be found in:
Whichever company Chris Liddell lands in will be at risk of being influenced by the
Microsoft (sub)culture. Microsoft's former CFO (Connors) is now
working with a
sort of satellite of Microsoft, Ignition Partners. Lazy reporters neglect to share such details.
