Jim Balsillie, the former co-CEO RIM, has sold his entire stake in the company, reports CNET.
A year ago, Balsillie was one of the largest individual shareholders in BlackBerry (formerly known as Research In Motion) with 26.8 million shares in the company. But in a document filed today, BlackBerry disclosed that Balsillie no longer holds any shares in the company.
RIM's other former co-CEO Mike Lazaridis still serves as vice chairman of BlackBerry and owns 29.9 million shares in the company.
On January 30th, RIM rebranded itself as BlackBerry, launched a new BlackBerry 10 platform for mobile, and unveiled the BlackBerry Z10 (touch) and BlackBerry Q10 (keyboard) smartphones.

The only thing that could have saved them was full android app compatability and they've chosen to rough it out!
