Isn't this the Mark Willes who almost completely destroyed the Los Angeles Times?

And still claims they owe him over 11 million bucks.

I guess Anonymous did not read the last paragraph of the article. I also guess Anonymous is bitter for some reason. Most impartial observers are of the opinion that the changes he made at the LA Times, while painful, were long needed, and that the paper would now be in much worse shape than it is had he not made them.

Mark Willes is one of the best managers and leaders I know. He turned the LA Times around and made it very profitable for the family to sell it. He was greatly respected at General Mills and the Minneapolis Federal Reserve. He is a demanding and brilliant administrator who demands much from those he works with--and even more from himself. Surely the DMC companies will benefit from his leadership.
