    Default Lederer vs. Ferguson

    I'm seeing a lot of negative publicity directed at Howard Lederer (Negreanu wrote some scathing remarks about him plus other remarks by various people on the internet) but I see very little directed at Chris Ferguson.
    Aren't they both equally at fault for FTP's mess or was Ferguson more clueless as to what was going on?

    They're businessmen. One of them looks like an ogre and the other, a Jewish zombie.

    We don't know enough yet to assign fault %ges, seems likely it will shake out that they both screwed us enough that it won't matter.

    I think Howard gets more hate right now because he was perceived to be slightly higher on the food chain, he wasn't very well liked to begin with, and everyone hates Annie D. Also Howard more or less vanished from the scene once FT got big whereas Jesus was still around. So people were ready to believe more or less anything about HL but CF is more of a shock. As time passes and we learn more about who knew/did what when I think the hate will converge.

    As an only partially educated observer, I got the impression Ferguson was more about the software, less about the operations. Maybe that's at play.

    My theory is that most people think Jeez is cool, where Howard is a cunt.

    HL called Gobbo a freak and very weird dude in an e-mail that made for an epic thread on 2+2.
