A day before he was fired, Groupon CEO Andrew Masonsent this cryptic tweet about attending a meeting of four people being asked to share three oranges in a meeting:
On Feb. 28, to announce he was let go, he tweeted:
The Jottit note linked to his quirky resignation letter, the one that said, "I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding - I was fired today."
In hindsight, the "oranges meeting" sounds ominous. So the question is, what was the deal with the three oranges? And who could have been the four people asked to share them?
Here's a thought: Mason was replaced by chairman Eric Lefkofsky and director Ted Leonsis. So those three people would have been in Mason's final meeting at Groupon, presumably. Mason and Lefkofsky hold controlling interests in Groupon stock along with one other board director: Brad Keywell.
Mason + Lefkofsky + Leonsis + Keywell = four people.
We tweeted at Mason for a comment. We'll let you know if he replies.
