Please refer to Gooch99's response to SI and PNP selling issue, it is in all likelyhood, pretty close to the real deal. He goes about saying that SI's lack of credibility in the investment world is likely the cause of SI's untimely resignation. Also he was probably squeezed out of any board meetings to facilitate a timely release of information of successes that have been achieved. This is where he decides to take all his money and go play somewhere else so that HE can be the big wheel and not have to toe the line to someone elses tune.
