At the time he announced NOKIA would be abandoning their own operating systems and adopting Microsoft's he was still a very significant shareholder in M$, seventh largest in the world if I remember correctly.

What's the betting when Elop's finished killing off NOKIA and returns to M$ with NOKIA's IPR Ballmer will gift him back the shares he 'sold' and more besides?
