The only conclusions I can come up with as to why Mark wouldn't hire more knowledgeable help are:
1) paralyzing paranoia
2) paralyzing thriftiness
3) fear of discovery of some misdeed
#1 seems unlikely but reasonable. His company has his hands on untold treasures. Bitcoin is still a treacherous community.
I'd rule out #2 in all seriousness because there are cheaper coffee brands.
#3 seems frighteningly the most possible to me.

Hubris, messiah complex...
OK, there's three more possibilities I missed... We may be able to rule out retarded as there is video of him speaking cogently I presume?
