That link claims that (1) he is incompetent and (2) he is liquidating the company. The two claims are not compatible. Nor does either constitute “looting.” Looting is intentional behavior, not incompetence. If you do think liquidating a company is “looting,” you could have just said so, rather than linking to an article and letting me figure out the behavior you meant. And there are a lot more examples of liquidation.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect someone who you disagree with about the meaning of a word used in an unusual context to know you disagree with them and mention it in advance.
The terrible CEO of Sears comes to mind.

It’s not an unusual context, but that doesn’t meant that it means anything beyond negative affect.
