"He also would share in the profits of the boat if it does not go under. I trust his judgment that the leaks can't be patched and it is time to jump off.

The problem is that they don't want him to just patch the leaks. They want him to be those string quartet guys from the movie that play while the ship is sinking.

They want him telling the passengers on board that everything is fine, and there's no need for a lifeboat. They want him to sell tickets.

They could have just let him walk too, and not have had to worry about responding to a lawsuit. If they had let him out of his contract, does anyone really think we would have heard anything more than a short respectful press statement from ivey that said "FTP is super and theyve been great to me, but now that theyre no longer serving the US market, its time for me to move in a diff direction"?

Whistleblowers usually are heavily criticized by their peers, and often by the ignorant masses they intend to help.
wow, all I needed to do was read this first responce, Robl is SPOT on with his statement, and we have all these IVEY fan boys who truly believe Ivey cares about the lil players GET A $%^$# CLUE!!
