IcelandReview reports that Kári Stefánsson, CEO of deCODE genetics ...

plans to file charges against the board of directors of the Icelandic Medical Association and the Medical Association of Reykjavík for not removing an article that criticizes Kári from the Icelandic Medical Journal's website ... [the article] criticizes the fact that during Kári's five day stint of relieving at Neurology Department, Kári suddenly "ran away" to open the NASDAQ Market in New York. "How can something like this happen at Iceland's most eminent medical institution? Is this a theater?" asks [the author of the article]...

Known for being outspoken, Kári recently told Bio IT World.com that you had to be "somewhat twisted" to be concerned about privacy and it was "ugly and predatory behavior" not to participate in biomedical research. When interviewed shortly after opening NASDAQ this summer, Kári referred to the Icelandic Stock Market as a "small and muddy puddle". [He demanded an apology for the publication of the article, but] no apologies have been reported.
