Zynga (ZNGA -6.4%), which had rallied modestly in August following its post-earnings bloodbath, sold off into the close. A recent Bloomberg report detailing new executive defections could be weighing. Eric Bethke, who was in charge of Mafia Wars 2, has disclosed he left this month, and a source claims mobile VP Ya-Bing Chu and GM Jeremy Strauser have also resigned. All of this backs up reports of poor morale and a "flood of resumes" from Zynga developers.
