If he was so principled, he shouldn't have sold his business to a company who's principles are exact opposite of those of his own. And then be sour when they provide liquidity of said business, unable to prove his ideas, and then attacking the company afterwards.

It's obviously good he found a place where his own principles are more inline with the company.

He admits freeely that he sold out and has expressed public regret for doing what he did. He’s also committed something like 1 billion dollars to charity and drives a minivan.

All things considered, seems like a pretty good dude who saw an opportunity to create enough wealth that 10 generations down the line will be taken care of and he took it. Can’t say I would do any different and I doubt many others would either.
