I still haven’t forgiven him for The Learning Company and Brøderbund.

He really pumped and dumped Softkey/TLC on Mattel. From $4.2B in 1999 to selling the whole thing off for $27.3M in 2000. I wouldn't be surprised if this is another one of his "ride the valuation wave" schemes.

He has a perfect record of losing investor money. His O'Leary fund underperformed for years before it was sold off and shut down. He's a nothing burger.
