We had Gaston Bastiens as CEO at Quarterdeck after he left Apple. The prestige was so great he drove the stock value up to $40 a share... I remember asking him in a hallway whether we employees should buy at that price. Sure, he said, it's a great deal!

Wilipedia didn't mention this part of his career last time I checked it, or his arrest after he left Quarterdeck.

The stock price fell to 50 cents a share and Quarterdeck of course folded.
