What's the point in celebrating his resignation?

Here's another conspiracy theory:

Nokia's board of directors was already set on selling the company to M$. The deal was already sealed, and all they had to do was find some way to make it happen... Namely, work around the antitrust commission.

The alleged billions that M$ was injecting into Nokia were to compensate for a share tanking that would take place, purposefully, on the design of both parties, so that antitrust commissions would have a convincing argument that the joining of both M$ and Nokia (henceforth referred to as No-Win) was not the case of two giants joining up, but rather, a much larger company buying a once thriving now failing one.

Elop would play his role as the man behind the share's freefall, the board of directors would get their money in advance, in exchange for not doing a thing while they watched their company sink, M$ would buy the then-failing company, everyone would get a frakkload of bucks, no handsets would spread Linux to desktop stations like wildfire, and that would be it.

Any thoughts on the above?
