Jay Rasulo climbed the corporate ladder, using Oakwood paper route as an unlikely springboard

Since last friday Disney denied that Dick Cook was fired. Alas, it seems that nobody really believes that Cook decided by himself to resign from the Walt Disney Studios, "effective immediately". But could the consequences of Dick Cook's lay off finally cost Disney 4 Billion dollars?

Walt Disney Co's $4 billion bet on Marvel Entertainment's superheroes is at best going to take some time to pay off and at worst may have increased some risks for the entertainment behemoth. Any initial optimism about the transaction has quickly turned to caution as analysts and investors realize that it is not easy to say whether Disney CEO Bob Iger got a good deal or overpaid.

So who is the real Disney Villain in this story? Everyone seems to be placing all the blame on the Mouse for the decision to build the children's land, Toy Story Land. Many feel this is yet another representation of the Eisner/Pressler era and the company hasn't learned from it's mistakes.

Or has it?

Given the amount of debt that they're carrying I find this claim a bit suspicious. I thought he'd give specifics on how he comes to that claim but he seems rather vague about it.
