Hollywood Stock Exchange CEO Quits


In yet another major shakeout at an Internet entertainment site, the popular Hollywood Stock Exchange on Tuesday announced the resignation of its CEO, Andy Kaplan, and said that it plans to merge with PredictIt, which produces "interactive prediction software."

The merged company will be called HSX, Inc. Although a news release from the company indicated that Kaplan's resignation was voluntary, the online entertainment news site Inside observed Tuesday that as recently as last week, Kaplan had denied a rumor that he was leaving.
