Garry Hare No longer at Amiga Inc.

Or his Job was done or he was pushed.

I'd say that his job was done.  The venture capitalists put him in charge after they lost confidence in McEwen and after some various buying/selling/setting up new companies/rebuying old companies KMOS became Amiga Inc.  

I'd say he was given the job to sort out the mess and get the company ship-shape again.  The Amiga Inc of today is one that we can assume that Bill McEwan & Barry Moss don't own (Amiga Inc was sold to KMOS), therefore there is no reason the venture capitalists will have appointed either of them to run the company given the trouble they had last time.

Why Amiga Inc has no real address, keeps itself and its staff so secret, and hasn't made any effort to entice developers are still questions that might have interesting answers....

It's almost as if they're almost pretending to run a business.  My theory is that the venture capitalists who own and run Amiga Inc have appointed nobody new and just "parked" the company on their IP asset shelf.  Saying that, there's probably a part-time caretaker to keep an eye on things given that they haven't (yet) managed to park all of Amiga Inc's devolved actitivies (i.e. OS4).

Does this mean KMOS sold Amiga Inc?

Through all of this (since 2000 when the venture capitalists provided funds to McEwen & co) Amiga Inc has never left the over-arching umbrella of this venture capitalist company (I'll call them the VP company hereafter).

In the beginning when McEwen & Fleecy were in charge, part of Amiga Inc will have been owned by this VP company.

Later, AmigaOS was sold to Itec (and someone else?).  I'm willing to bet my most expensive pair of Calvin Klein boxer shorts that these 2 companies were owned by this VP company.

Even later, KMOS was set up.  The earlier Garry Hare connection (he was being instructed by the VP company) and that he was also in charge of KMOS makes it too much of a coincidence - the VP company must have been involved.  I'd bet my best pair of jeans that this is the case.

Even more later, KMOS was renamed Amiga Inc.  And now Garry is gone, most likely because he's done is job as the VP company's corporate fixer-man, and he'll be moving on to the next company that the VP company feels is being run badly.
