amiga-news.de - Bill McEwen still Amiga CEO?

27.Apr.2003
AmigaWorld (ANF) Bill McEwen still Amiga CEO?
According to statements by Ray A. Akey of Amiga Inc. and Fleecy Moss, Bill McEwen is still CEO of Amiga Inc.
Yesterday Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco have circulated in a news item at MorphOS-News.de that Gary Hare was CEO of Amiga Inc., with whom talks had already been held (we reported).

Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco stand by their statement, see the following comments at morphos-news.de, ANN and again ANN.

Carsten Schröder paraphrases this nebulous situation to the point:
"The state of the news is becoming more and more nebulous: In the meantime Fleecy Moss and Ray A. Akey, members of AMIGA, Inc.'s management, have denied a change at the top management level. Bill McEwen, however, hasn't piped up yet, while Genesi again confirmed the change and are currently trying to get in touch with Gary Hare.

Conclusion: There have been various bankruptcies and corporate acquisitions of the AMIGA mother company in the past - but I personally can't remember a situation where there was uncertainty about the current principal of the company.

At the moment I'm regarding two scenarios explaining this situation as the most probable ones:

Scenario 1: The shareholders of AMIGA, Inc. have decided to exchange the management but not informed them (or some of them), while the designated CEO has already had talks with Genesi.

Scenario 2: Genesi have been had. I'm regarding a deliberate false report improbable as this would do much damage to the company's reputation."

Here the statement of Amiga Inc's Ray A. Akey:
"Bill McEwen is currently the CEO of Amiga and the fact that there is no PR to the contrary about this on our website means that there is no news. Anyone describing the appointment of a new CEO as "old news" is obviously posting information for their own motives and reasons since "old news" requires it to be "new news" before it can be "old news" and since Amiga Inc hasn't posted such "new news" then the motives of the person describing it as "old news" while simultaneously putting this new news into the world have to be questioned."

Here the statement of Fleecy Moss:
"Has Amiga Inc changed CEO?"
Fleecy Moss: As of this moment Bill McEwen is the CEO of Amiga and if a new CEO was to be brought in, it would be because of Amiga expanding as a company and Bill needing to concentrate on being Chairman and President - currently he is CEO as well and three top jobs in a company that is attracting the attention we are is at least one job too many.

Any CEO to be brought in would be as part of the team and would be totally in sync with the current strategic direction of the company. If someone is posting information to the contrary then it can only be for ulterior motives. (ps) (Translation: cb)
