Computerworld -
In response to Geer's comments about his firing, James Mobley, @stake's president and CEO, said in a statement that he placed "a number of unreturned phone calls" to Geer before the company announced his dismissal.
"He finally returned my call after the release of the report [on Microsoft], at which time I informed him that his services were no longer required," Mobley said. "This conversation occurred prior to my authorization of the release of @stake's public statement."
Mobley added that he has "the greatest respect for Dr. Geer as a research scientist and security expert."
