Hope he does a better job with is new island.....

The American team, owned by Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, has been branded as "cheaters" by the two remaining challengers after it was found that two of its three prototype boats used in warm-up regattas last year and early this year were illegally modified.

An international jury is investigating and could sanction Oracle with a fine, forfeiture of races in the America’s Cup match or disqualification. - See more at: http://www.thelog.com/SNW/Article/New-Ze...tJwsd.dpuf

Ellison has a long and checkered past with the Americas Cup. He has a gigantic ego. He was in competition with Paul Allen for awhile there, having the world's longest yacht, then Allen had a longer one, so Ellison built one even longer. They both got passed up by an Arab and a Russian recently, with gigantic megayachts. Lanai is his private sandbox now, so it will depend on if he wants to play in the sandbox or maybe play with his boats.
