Some media and posters keep repeating the myth that KOL is a big shot businessman who "understands money". They should do some research. His track record is rather questionable.

Kevin got his big break in the 80s with his software company Softkey (later renamed The Learning Company). Softkey was sort of a parasite company that repackaged freeware games on CDs. They then acquired a number of other software companies that were already circling the bowl (so to speak). It was a whole lot of crapware. 

Kevin managed to sell this detritus to Mattel who were desperate to jump on the software bandwagon. Mattel discovered too late what a mistake they had made. They had paid Kevin way too much money and soon took a series of epic financial hits. The deal was described as one of the most disastrous acquisitions in recent history. Shareholders later won a class action lawsuit accusing Mattel executives, O'Leary, and former TLC CEO Michael Perik of misleading investors. Fraud essentially.
