I dont know the guy from Adam but he certainly has a very successful career to date. Doesnt mean he is the salt of the earth but doesnt appear to be a stooge either. Steve is more likely right then wrong especially if he feels so strongly about him. My point was just to add a bit of balance, he isnt without business skills

That is the fundamental difference between you and Steve. He measures a man's worth by his character.

I dont know his character, as such to measure his worth without knowing him directly is not a practice I am comfortable with. Certainly if you feel you "know" his character you are welcomed to measure this man in any capacity you deem valid. There is no denying his previous business work as immensely successful at least if you define success as profitable. I tend to evaluate business ventures on there success and or failure to produce profit. If you dont or have another definition that serves you so be it.

Really. not a fair example Madoff was/is a criminal. Am I to understanding the tenor of your post, you are comparing Madoff to Gural and suggesting that he is a criminal?
