Charif Souki
Charif Souki, an Egyptian-born but naturalized U.S. citizen, has just been booted (for a second time) from a company he co-founded. In December 2015, evil corporate raider Carl Icahn (who invests in companies so he can fire a bunch of people, boost the stock, and pocket the profit) fired Souki from Cheniere Energy, a company he co-founded and helmed as CEO (see Evil Corporate Raider Carl Icahn Claims Another CEO Scalp). Souki didn't let it slow him down. He started a new LNG export company to compete with his old company, Tellurian (see Revenge: Fired Cheniere CEO Starts Competing LNG Company). On Monday, the Tellurian board of directors removed Souki as Chairman. Souki will remain on the board, but he will no longer have any executive (day-to-day) responsibilities at the company. An SEC filing says Souki was "terminated without cause."
