It's amazing by: Anonymous on 1/22/2010
We clearly see how the corpo prigs have very little regard for anyone or anything but their own personal egos and pocketbooks and those partners in crime they can steal with.
It's not surprising since our left wing has plied that trade for a few decades while blaming the right, and now we've seen them in the most incestuous monetary corpo crime collusion the world has ever seen, that in fact brought the world to the brink, and will again very soon.
What's really sad is, when these dirtbags are stealing, they don't even have the skills to bring the company to a higher level, so one can't even say the thief has some honor, in a mob sort of way.
Well, one of the other things that strikes me on these deals is it appears from Madoff and the generasl tenor that these thieves have very little regard for their fellow humans they are stealing blind.
It appears to be a seething dislike, an overall burning, disgrunted, disturbed internal denouncing of their peers and underlings. Quite a dangerous development, that combines with their over inflated egos, and produces this disgusting combination of epic failure with self justified robbery, and the underlying nasty attitude that produces zero remorse forever.
You can bet 100% there's more there at AMD, as the infection attracts like kind, and ejects the better, sturdy, productive backbone, as the article pointed out.
Exacerbating the problem is the very lucrative salaries far above average that are spread rather widely, so many in the upper tiers, boards, and upper management keep their noses down and sail along knowingly, even when they aren't direct participants, and that knowledge also brings down the ships performance.

It's a shame AMD held on to him and let him rob them for so long. Im sure the tenticles are wider spread than we might imagine but he took and underdog and all but ruined it. and the money he made from it wow. maybe they will park him in the cell next to Bernie Madoff. Too bad his antics cost so many AMD emloyees there liveliehood. I hope they string him up.
Riuz belongs in a mexican jail by: Michael A. McKenney on 11/3/2009
Ruiz doesn't deserve a US Prison. He should be put in a Mexican prison to rot.

I hope AMD develops better chipsets for its CPUs. I would go back with a better server board design to put under it.

Dear Readers... by: Theo Valich on 11/2/2009
When commenting on this story, please do not use foul language because we will delete those posts.

I had to delete some of the posts because of profanity. Every person, regardless of who he is makes the choices he or she ultimately regrets. Are those choices affecting just a few people, hundreds or thousands of people - that is completely up to them. No man or woman is guilty until proven otherwise. As far as this article goes, the writing is on the wall - but so far, no legal consequences are brought upon Mr. Ruiz.

Retain civil level of conversation.

Lost my job at AMD over your bonuses that ran into tens of millions of dollars. His salary was nothing else than charade he was earning millions of dollars on preferred stock price at guaranteed prices. They all took millions of dollars from beloved AMD while we were bleeding out. So many good people, friends left the company because of inept greedy bastards.

Ruiz you should rot in Jail and hope you have a good company.

Busted!!!
I was at Motorola when Ruiz was there by: Anonymous on 11/2/2009
Ruiz was not a very technically sophisticated boss. He often had to ask junior staff to explain what was new.

His track record as a CEO is a lot like many other CEO's. Good resume but not real leadership that makes a positive difference in the overall results the company accomplishes. For Sure a mistake for AMD and Globfoundries
RE: Hector knows... by: Theo Valich on 11/2/2009
...you need location of his former office in Sunnyvale? Interesting meeting room, integrated into to his Cali office. Need details on color of the walls [hint: not the company colors], number of awards and plaques etc etc?

True, it was back few years ago. Need contents of his business card - yes, they're outdated, but still...

Personally, he stroke me as a modest person. Professionally well... his track record at Motorola Semi [now Freescale], AMD and GlobalFoundries speaks for itself.

Hector knows by: Anonymous on 11/2/2009
Does Hector even have the first clue who you are? I seriously doubt that he would recognize your or your name if asked.
WOW! by: Anonymous on 11/2/2009
This is a fast change after the shock of Ruiz being pulled into the investigation of the investment company Galleon Group LLC.
