Id say there was a lot of backroom "conversations" had between his people and the main sponsors - visa nike and the likes and their distinct displeasure regardimg how things were lookimg feom the outside, and how they couldnt afford to continue an association with a body under such suspicion... aka - he goes or we take our millions away and yez are fooked without us...

[MattHunt]

Oh thank god!

[ilikeradios]

He is staying until at least December (emergency congress/ vote) so plenty of time to cover up/destroy anything implicating him!

[Aspman]

He's looking for a quiet retirement somewhere warm without a US extradition treaty

[Wet Kipper]

Imagine the size of the whip-round for his leaving present

[Brimma]

Imagine the size of the whip-round for his leaving present

Hopefully non-existent

Just a "good riddance, close the door on your way out"

Enough time to milk (a lot) more money out of it!
