Daniel Loeb, CEO of the third point LLC, has again Board of Directors, CEO Scott Thompson called for Yahoo on what he says, to oust ethical violations.

Say that "we no joy take in witnesses this slaughter," repeated activist investor Daniel Loeb its call that Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson about inconsistencies in his academic career dump for Wednesday, and replace it with an interim CEO.

"" It seems quite clear for us - and for many corporate governance experts, Yahoo! employees and colleagues Yahoo! shareholders-, that is not "unintentional error,' Mr. Thompson's imagination was degrees", Loeb said Board of Directors in a letter from his third point LLC hedge fund at Yahoo set.

"Third point invested more than $1 billion in Yahoo!, and we take no joy in witnessing this carnage," the letter said.

Third point, which has 5.8 percent of Yahoo shares, setting off a firestorm last week by the revelation that Thompson, who only a few months is in his term of Office, had pressed his academic credentials on securities filings, say that he had a degree in computer science, if he did not.

Since then, Thompson has caused apologises for the crash itself, what the company called "innocent mistake", and announced that Director Patti S. Hart, Committee, the Thompson place landed led the search, candidate for re-election.

The Board is also an internal review of the matter.

But Loeb had none of it.

"It seems farcical to us who probably spend more time the Board discussions about whether Mr.. Thompson was to be released, as it did correct security audits, whether he should have hired." The required investigation, if certain officers and directors from Mr. knew Thompson's illusions before setting should delay him not decisive action about his ethical violations, "said Loeb in writing."
