Lululemon Founder Steps Down

Lululemon Athletica CEO Dennis Wilson has been removed from his executive duties but remains chairman:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/07/bu...back.html?_r=1

Many here remember that Lululemon is allegedly a good company. Its founder branded Lululemon's shopping bags with drivel culled from Ayn Rand novels and such nonsense. He also "earned" millions disposing of shares above the market price:

I have nothing against people looting their own companies and frankly urge everyone to give it a shot if you can get away with it.

However, I stand by my original statements that Lululemon is a bad company and may accidentally become a good one since the demotion of the idiot who perpetrated this fraud upon consumers and investors alike.

We have one of their shops here in Monteral. Stuff seems like it's quality-made, but overpriced.

After all Wilson claims he has done to "elevate the world from mediocrity to greatness"? I bet if he were to retire to a secluded valley in Colorado you'd miss him real quick.
