I hope people cut him some slack. Given the amount of crap he's had to put up with over the years, had it been me, I'd have ridden the paychecks while farming out my resume and simply walked away when the time came. This was a decision of the heart, not of sound financial planning. I really hope he's got a plan for making it at least cover it's own cost or this is just going to be a temporary reprieve.
