The more I follow this trial the more intrigued I am about this whole Eisner/Ovitz fiasco.
I dug up a decade old article about Ovitz which really hits home on the interdynamics of WallStreet, Hollywood and the Media.
I get why Eisner brought him in - which will forever go down as one colossal mistake! I think he was duped into the false impression that his relationship with this wolf was solid enough to preclude him from sporting sheep's clothing around his office.
I also believe Eisner thought he was far more powerful and that would enable him to control this guy while exploiting his abilities to manipulate whatever he needed for the company.
Roy and Stan were idiots as well.
