For someone who was forced out of the company he founded and then sued by his VCs, maybe he didn't watch his back enough.

He was forced out for doing a bad job, not because of a power struggle simply for power. If I'm a cashier at my grocer and pay every customer a dollar too much in change, I'm going to be fired no matter how much I "watch my back". The only difference is the employee doing a bad job was the CEO, so other measures were needed to fire him.
