    I’ve wondered that too. Were they sold into the idea that when the company is making lots more money it can do lots more good with it? Or are they really business men deep down struggling with their morals after seeing what happened to their ‘baby’?

      the idea that when the company is making lots more money it can do lots more good with it

      The sales pitch of co-op carpet-baggers to their members since time began! It seems that “social entrepreneurs” aren’t immune to the siren song.
