The senior risk officer explained that she used to sit on a popular NYSE listed company's BOD. She explained that she would only take compensation in shares so that she could truely represent the shareholders because she would be in the same boat. She stated that now more than ever, directors should only take compensation in stock to help ensure that they have the shareholders best interest in mind.

The BOD's purpose is to represent the shareholders and act in the shareholders best interest - PERIOD. Patriot's BOD is obviously not doing this - they need to go ASAP!
