Does Bob Moffat's Arrest Affect You?

I'm a bit surprised that there has been very little buzz in the industry about the arrest of Robert Moffat, Sr VP STG at IBM and the implications this may have on IBM i.

Senior VP's are most certainly not involved in day to day opeartions at IBM, but they most certainly set the direction, strategy, and objectives for their organizations.  Moffat was responsible for all of IBM's Hardware offerings including Power Systems and IBM i.

I'm sure that it will be business as usual until his successor is named, but this could be a good or bad moment for the iSeries. It could be good if an IBM i friendly executive takes Moffat's place or it could be bad if someone with no IBM i experience takes over.  Moffat was most likely not a friend of i coming from a manufacturing and technology and supply chain background.
