The discussions with Manoj Bhargava, who holds a controlling share in Arena, are the source of the turmoil. Tensions arose from Bhargava’s purchase, which resulted in his temporary appointment as Arena’s acting CEO. Salter, in a candid interview, asserted his commitment to contractual terms, stating, “If a company doesn’t pay me, I breach.”
