AK has a long history and has perfected the art of ‘failing up’.
AK bought the old Linux company. What he got is a new company which is basically a job creation program for Raleigh.
You get hire there on non-merit factors which is quite a departure from how things were done.
AK can recoup some costs by moving the headquarters from Raleigh and cleaning up the dead beats.
