Sweet...

Im gonna give Kevin the benefit of the doubt and assume he quit because Samsung's new policy just screwed him and halved his possible sales for next year. And if I know sales companies they prolly raised his target as well. So I say Bravo, if the case is as Im assuming, I woulda quit too.
