Boopie and Monsanto are very different in my mind. Monsanto spent about 5 years with Forbes and was understandably frustrated when he just couldn’t move like he used to. It doesn’t excuse quitting on the team, but I have empathy for him and understand it and wish him the best.
With the limited knowledge we have, Boopie just looks greedy. Maybe he was told he’d have a smaller role and didn’t like it, but it sure seems like he just wanted the biggest bad possible. Probably not a good long term move.
