    All kinds of conspiracy theories are running through my head in light of further departures.

    1. Board has asked Altman to do something shady, he said he’d do it but really he didn’t and they’ve got pissed firing him. Folks who were viewed as his “clique” naturally got worried and left before their names get tarnished.
    2. Altman and a group of supporters were up to no good, board got a whiff of it and fired him, and everyone involved saw the writing on the wall and resigned
    3. Board was shaping things up for acquisition, Altman opposed and was shown the door. Folks close enough to him understood the consequence and quit with their resumes clean of what’s to come. …

    so many things will remain unknown for the nearest future it’s hard to tell who’s lying about what.
