h_rattle, you sounds pi..ed, but you are wrong about that they could not find any other CEO.

I would take the job for 300k+ per year plus other perks. I would run it out of my office and subcontract for 50k a year all the hard work to Portee. Why didn't they offer it to me, beats me

The problem is that they probably did not look very hard, I have all the qualifications and even lost less money than what they did.
