The saga continues as head of Livedoor and Japanese celebrity Takafumi Horei steps down,
allowing
Kozo Hiramatsu (the company's executive) to take his place.
As reported yesterday, Livedoor's chief Takafumi Horei was arrested along with 3 other staff members amid allegations of supplying shareholders with misleading information.

to ¥176.
The company faces being delisted from the stock market if found guilty of misinforming investors, though
Horei has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
