CEO Abandons Ship
Wednesday June 08.2000 12:03 PM EST
Jim Jorgenson President of the online company Alladvantage has abandoned ship and left the country. Reports that AllAdvantage lost approximately 6.3 million dollars US last month, compounded with the release of a new way to cheat the company [a program called SOA] are being blamed for Jorgenson's hasty retreat.
Users have complained about the constant downtime of the alladvantage website as well as numerous complaints about hours that have not been logged.
The CEO is reported to have said "I will die with the company if that is what it takes" however, he seems to be singing a different tune.
Numerous attempts to get in touch with the CEO resulted in manical laughter which was recorded on his answering machine.
The sanity of the CEO is also being questioned as he sees his company sinking into the depths of internet death, all because of a few kids that knew how to program.
The company is still operative, although it has reduced hours drastically because of a loss of advertisers as well as an enormous number of returned cheques because of fake accounts.
Jorgenson's last words before boarding his flight are reported to have been "Screw those damn kids, I hate them and SOA should be shot, stupid kids. Damn!"
It is believed that the company will fold within the next fiscal year and join the many fads that hit the internet [remember 'Tickle Me Elmos' didn't think so] Farewell Jim, and good luck.
