Depends on whether or not he was the guy that got to OK the contract with Digital River.

Though KEEPING with Digital River through all the problems was probably a bean-counter/legal department thing (Breaking a contract isn't the easiest thing to do, and for all the complaining, products were still getting sold, which probably meets Digital River's end of the contract).

I'd say things Scott could definitely bear significant blame for include:

Character Selection - He probably had final say on this, with a bit of bean-counter influence as far as tooling budgets and such.

Sub-line Choices - No doubt the ideas for the mini-subs were largely all him.

Public Perception/Public Relations - For whatever reason the guy rubbed a significant number of people the wrong way. I'm not sure he could've done much different and still been doing his job, though, as he was really the only "pitchman" for Mattycollector.
