Well, now I'm caught up to episode 10 and I'm quite enjoying this one.

@Kraco I don't think this was much of him getting ahead of himself, but a miscalculation based on a betrayal. So not much he can do on that particular regard whether he had waited or not, and considering that A-Tec's dissolution was imminent, there was little choice in the matter if he has legit interest in saving it (which it seems he has). Of course, there was the other goal of it itself being a blow to the CEO, but in the end that motivation is irrelevant in the scheme of things since he seemed like he wanted to save it regardless.

IF and only IF he had no real interest in saving A-Tec, and it was all purely him trying to punch the CEO with this move, then I could agree with it, but considering the rest of the circumstances that point is a bit moot even if it ended blowing back at him.

Part of it also is that he put his trust on a seemingly big time player in the board, someone who apparently had a big hand in getting him to his position today, and then seemed to betray him. So he was acting with information from a quality and trustworthy source which ended up being nothing but. If the information is bad, then there's not much you can do about it one way or another.

On the other hand, maybe if he wasn't so gung-ho on trying to pass blame, and made this simply about saving A-Tec and nothing more, then he would've been much better of. I guess that was his biggest failure, going after blood in such a direct manner instead of leaving things play themselves out after the fact.

And of course, there's the whole Iris thing to consider and how it factor into his decision to try to save A-Tec.
