I mean, I interviewed him four or five days before he got arrested and taken into custody. So his mind is reeling, like it's a video game, trying to figure out how can I somehow get out of this mess? He was someone I actually found it kind of hard to generate empathy for, in part because the last time I talked to him was in Palo Alto, California. He's at his parents' house under house arrest.

You have to give away all your electronics. I'm like writing on this hotel notepad. I hadn't actually written that much, so I can't make small letters anymore, I don't think. It's like the landing form on the aircraft. Like, I can't use, I can't do that.

ankle bracelet. This is serious, right? And then I asked him, well, what if you could get two years probation? You settle the court case. And at the time, people kind of knew he was pretty dead to rights. It's like, yeah, I'd have to think about it. It's like, yeah, 20 years instead.

By the way, testified in his trial in New York against, I guess not the advice of his counsel, but against the advice of other lawyers that I spoke with. He was just going to perjure himself, which is what he did and really pissed off the judge. So he's actually kind of a very bad, miscalculating type.

So he worked for a firm called Young Combinator, which is an incubator. They would go through and look at lots of very early stage pitches or founding teams, give them a small amount of seed money. When you do that, you get very good at networking, basically. But you get all the business because there's a lot of outflow.

Everyone who's a young investor who may not be established would want to go to this firm. And therefore, he makes great connections, develops a good eye for talent. And his skill set is really knowing a little bit about a lot and being a good networker. He is not, I don't think, a coding genius.
