@notsofast@WillbBTC I was here too (not on this account). I was naive. Made so much and lost all of it. And then round-tripped again. And again. Painful, painful lessons.
@brian_armstrong This is weak man. Only 10x? Come on. You are the premiere exchange and posturing as a responsive custodian for massive wall street inflows and activity.
@KerryLVaughan My guess: after consulting with lawyers, they were advised that they had no legally defensible reason and were under threat of lawsuit. So they negotiated out of the position and signed an NDA.
@dcinvestor How infuriating must it be for Sam to be across the negotiating table with such a bozo, having built the company that is solving one of the most challenging and profound problems humans have ever faced.
@pitdesi What a bozo. Sounds like she was put on the board as a token academic/policy wonk, but it went straight to her head and she felt outsize power and influence. To be so destructive and disrespectful of so many people’s hard and inspired work is unbelievably myopic and egotistical.
@lizrhoffman@eliotwb It’s not about Sam. It’s about resisting three random people who are uninvolved in their organization (yes, totally uninvolved), decimating the trajectory of their life’s work, their camaraderie, their culture, for complete opaque reasons.
I am on an H-1B, in the process of getting my green card and relocating my family to the US.
Me and many other colleagues in a similar situation have signed this letter.
I do not know what will happen next, but I am confident we will be taken care of.
the board should resign.
