Do you have inside information we don't know about? You know for sure he didn't put his own money into the venture?

If you don't know whether or not the founder put his own money into it, then don't say things like: "I also think it's deplorable that Steve Newcomb went straight to investors for this without putting any of his own money into paying employees."
