From what I have heard from others Watkins follows Stosch. So I've been joking that if Stosch asked Watkins to raise taxes, Watkins would reply "how high?" Apparently the answer was about $1.5 billion.
It seems that if we really wanted to get Watkins out of there, we'd only need to start playing up the sordid insider trading surrounding his family and the re-routing of 288...if my recollection is correct, his family made a killing on the real estate dealings fer that. Talk about yer conflict of interest...MUD
