He was also the CEO while they launched Digg 4, which has been a huge disaster and may be what kills the company.

Look more closely. He was hired _after_ the Digg 4 launch - likely was agreeing to a contract during the debacle, but certainly arrived afterwards.

Actually he joined two days before v4 launched. I'm sure there was a healthy amount of "wtf have I gotten myself into" thereafter.
