There needs to be a website cataloging and calling out these sorts of people and their behaviors so that they can never escape from posterity. Call it "Silicon Scumbag" or something. It seems to be a trend that quite a few SV CEOs after striking it rich turn into total human garbage, especially in their treatment of women.

I feel like Valleywag did a pretty good job of that, but it's now shut down.

One problem with Valleywag, or any enterprise that would chronicle these sorts of things, is that while abhorrent behavior by SVites waxes and wanes, the need to push constant volume leads them to be gossipy and vapid. Also, while we might have a substantive discussion about this guy's abhorrent behavior here, a normalized version of that discussion for general consumption may gloss over some aspects of the despicableness of this behavior that require addressing in order to promote higher quality actors in tech.

Maybe TechCrunch or PandoDaily could hire a couple of muckrakers to run a column, instead of devoting an entire site or periodical to gossip.

Good idea. The site should also include unconfirmed accusations, because apparently we live in the dark ages of the internet.

There is a guy on HN who catalogs corporate actions of this sort, but not on an individual level.

There are also the enablers (board of directors) who stuck by him even when there was clear damning evidence of sociopathic behavior.
