- cloudhead 15y agoI respect that, but maybe people wouldn't get away with this kind of thing if it was made more public.

- tdfx 15y agoI don't like that this position is assumed by default by so many wronged parties on HN. If you're really eager to take the noble path, explain the story as objectively as you can and let other people decide. Letting other people get burned when they easily could've learned from your experience is not a noble thing.
- Klinky 15y agoI don't think it's really about being noble. When money is involved you don't know who is going to take offense with what you say. People with money or opportunity may not like the concept of you airing their or other people's "dirty laundry". It's also hard to verify information & a whistleblower can just as easily be painted as a hater/whiner or someone who has ulterior motives. So shady people or companies continue to be shady because people don't want to risk loss of potential income or reputation.
- davidhansen 15y agoI'd prefer to be the better person here rather than defame them publicly Idly allowing bad and potentially evil behavior to go unrecognized and unchallenged is by no means being a good person. Not to Godwin the thread, but your attitude is why evil flourishes, and on much grander scales than stock allocation.
- dbuxton 15y agoIt's pretty obvious that this is Scoopler, no?
- scoot 15y agoIt's only defamation if it's not true. And if it's not true, why are you posting it in the first place?
