I could go on forever about specifics that really kill me -- the greed, the incompetence, the overbearing HR, the idea that till the end we were continuing to work on things (see: Onyx Cup) that had no hope of coming to fruition before the company collapsed.
As much as I hope for severe punishments for many people involved in the company (including Howard and Gil), I'm also hoping for a quick resolution. When it's done and settled I won't have to read about it and become furious each time there's a new development.

The company had so much going for it:
-all the top players' endorsements
-arguably, the best software
-the highest stakes cash games online
-the most and best innovation (Rush Poker, Multi-Entry Tournaments, The Daily Doubles etc...)
If they hadn't been greedy and stupid, in the long run they probably would have made more money by either selling the company or from the ongoing cash flows than they did by stealing all our money for their short term greed. Sad.
