Patel left on July 31, but the severance represented an amount in lieu of the half-year pay required by Dutch law. Exact paid his successor, Martijn Janmaat, about $460,000. Janmaat says he plans to stay only until August and would not consider staying past the one year he committed to in agreeing to take over the job.
