Ousted RadiumOne CEO Gurbaksh Chahal Promises To Sue His Board

&gt; You were well aware that if I had gone to trial I would have gotten full exoneration. Instead, I sacrificed full exoneration for the sake of the Company’s IPO, and – more importantly – for you and for our shareholders.<p>So basically, here&#x27;s a guy who is more than happy to be publicly branded as someone who assaults women in order to get a few more dollars.<p>Whether he&#x27;s lying about the above or not, he sounds like an incredibly unpleasant and amoral person.

A negotiated guilty plea in California is required to be supported by an inquiry into the factual basis by the court of the defendant; Chahal&#x27;s argument here would seem to necessarily be that he lied to the court out of a profit motive, and, <i>on top of that</i>, that the board somehow had certain knowledge of what the outcome of a criminal jury trial would have been.<p>Good luck with that...

Whatever happens in the courtroom, Chahal has lost already.

Boy, when it rains, it pours.<p>The thing that gives me pause when considering this story is that in many (most?) countries of this world, this guy&#x27;s career would have been unscathed after a domestic abuse claim. More likely, he would never have been prosecuted to begin with.

I try not to let stuff like this get me upset, because you can never fix people. Now I just need to keep working on having a positive outlook while realizing that there are a ton of terrible people out there.<p>Of course, Chahal (and most terrible people) probably considers himself a good person. Raises the question as to how I can objectively make sure I&#x27;m a good person.<p>I&#x27;ll start with not abusing women (or anybody) and treating people how I want to be treated.
