And so there were stakeholders, not just in the public, but within this company.
That would be the bare minimum threshold, right?
Where senior executives thought, okay, we're going to get
some kind of at least detailed summary of what this law firm investigation found when they invoke it to rubber stamp sam coming back and instead what happened was an 800 word press release that said there had vaguely been a breakdown in trust and offered very few other details
And what we report in this piece for the first time is there wasn't a report.
For years, people were like, where's the report?
Where's the report?
There wasn't a report because it was kept out of writing.
And this is no longer just a speculative supposition.
One of the two board members who Sam helped select who oversaw this process just explicitly says, well, you know, a written report was not needed is now their line on this.
One thing that results from that spread of opinions is, to your question about evolving takes on Sam, there's definitely a class of nuts and bolts investors, prominent people in Silicon Valley who are really pragmatists, not just safetyists, and who are growth and business oriented, who told us that at the time of Sam's firing of the blip,
They gave him the benefit of the doubt, and especially because of the factor we talked about before where there just was a dearth of clear information.
In that void, a lot of prominent people gave him the benefit of the doubt and saw only upside in bringing him back and removing the board that tried to fire him.
There are a number of those prominent people in that category now who say...
I don't know that I would have given him the benefit of the doubt if I knew everything then that I now know.
Relatedly, by the way, a lot of announcements over there right concentrated around when they knew we were going to be running and right developed in the period where we were in these intensive conversations with them.
And many of them sort of pointed at the topics in the piece.
You know, they announced this new safety fellowship that's very airy.
They announced this new governance plan that's very sort of airy and ethereal, but are meant to, I think, you know, occupy space in the conversation on the same topics.
We probably both have thoughts on this.
