Fortune Takes a Look at Bram Cohen

jackstack writes "Fortune has an interesting article about bittorrent creator Bram Cohen. 'Right now I'm the CEO because I don't trust anyone else to be the CEO,' Bram says. The article goes into some interesting detail about Bram's state of mind, his poor history in college, and gives a glimpse of what it's like to go from being an unknown, brilliant geek - to the CEO of an $8.75 Million startup company."

    "I don't mean to troll, but given that he has Asperger's Syndrome, should it not be in his best interest to give the job of CEO to somebody who is more charismatic (in the sense that he can communicate exactly what people will want to hear), in an attempt to gain extra customers?"

    Buying-in professional management... because that worked so well for Mandrake, etc.?

    You're just the person to buy my second-hand volvo 244. It's not sexy, but with all the diseases going around, who wants to be sexy?

    Volvo: Boxy but good.
