Richard MacWilliam to step down as chairman of Upper Deck

[chadsexington]

Hey guys, I just got a text from a reporter friend of mine in San Diego saying UD has a called a small press conference at noon today to announce Richard MacWilliam is stepping down as the chairman of Upper Deck.

He said he sourced around for information and wasn't able to find a whole lot, though he's heard MacWilliam is in hot(ter) water with the IRS over the monnies owed to them by UD, and has been under scrutiny from company shareholders to step down before further damage is done, or to eventually take the fall.

That's all I know, but he sent me an email afterward with a link to this news story though which might provide you guys with a bit more information...

So I guess I can't do the post now that I was planning about UD having their license pulled.

Stop by the gift shop when you're on the moon and bring us back something nice, maybe a space sno-globe or some moon-fudge.
