    P Greenspun sealed her fate when he took the $7.6 million. He sold the majority, governing, interest out from under her.

    She be mad at the wrong person. Greenspun didn't have to sell the company to the VCs, he could have kicked them out. He didn't. So sollly, so solly, that you're such a foooooooool...

    Hey Eve, go ask darling Phil for a handout.

    Because a bunch of kooks on this site seem infatuated by a girl with average hacking skills, and good looking enough to entrace guys who have never gotten laid.

    FIGURE IT OUT:

    The VC guys, you can bet, were used to playboy-caliber tail. They came in, saw a pleasant girl, but nothing to lose your dick over, and eve was lost.

    She did okay against amateurs, but against pro VC guys, the belly wasn't flat enough, the tits weren't big enough, the ass not round enough and most importantly, she wasn't smart enough to run the company.

    But lets not shed a tear here. Eve made big money, she got a nice parachute out of it.

    I don't see the big deal. Most of us work for a company, get our few bucks a year, they go belly up, and we get dick from the company. She puts 7 figures into the bank and I'm supposed to feel sorry for her? Huh?

    You guys are nuts.
