That's so odd that Ohanian was allowed to be chairman of the board, as well as be an employee, I can't imagine having to dance around that situation of having to manage someone who effectively has the ability to manage you. If the 'rumors' are true, he's effectively running the company from behind the scenes. Which is weird? Or is this type of situation normal?

I have been at one company where the chairman got involved with the company operationally, and the result was the ouster of the CEO.

Is there really any other possible outcome? I can't imagine that sort of scenario ever working long-term.
