Dot Con: How Infospace Took Investors For A Ride

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the easy-money dept.

Jeff writes "On the subject of the dot com crash, the Seattle Times recently ran an outstanding three day series on the corruption at Infospace, with a follow up today on the company's continued relations with its founder, Naveen Jain. Sunday's cover photo of Jain's new office shows a birthday photo of himself and another self-portrait in the background. Only the reflecting pool is missing."

    That's another dotcom story, you idiot. I'd like to see some of you fuckers edit and manage of website with +100K visitors daily, before you start spouting off at even perceived errors.

    If this were a dupe, it would be the most fantabulous dupe ever - it links to the original Slashdot story!

    .I'm starting to think this is done on purpose.

    that was the better half of my brain trying to tell the idiotic side to STFU, I already apologized before your post.

    "Jain called Kranzler's home at night and said, "I will destroy your family," according to a Bellevue police report.

    Jain admitted to police that he said those words but said that he didn't really mean it, the police report shows. "

    I was wondering what ever happened to Kerpal! He was a funny, funny man. He'd threaten to kill you, and then say he was just kidding! Laff riot!
