Why was Redesk CEO Guy Pearson looking to hire someone for a speaking engagement the day after they were accused of sexual assault?

I stole that from Twitter, but it's not a good look. Did he just not really care or did he figure that he could act duplicitous and insert himself into a situation that has nothing to do with him? Who benefits from that?

Would rather not make this comment at all because there's an actual issue worth talking about here, but let's not applaud toxic behavior.

I'm sorry. I meant to post "I don't know what I think about ...." then my comment.

I think the tweeter's intention was to see what he could get out of this, but it also showed Scoble's attitude about the whole incident.

you don't know what the timestamps are, he probably asked him the previous day or even a week ago.

He says in a follow up tweet that it was today...

I know Guy for years. He enjoys these theatrics. Look at Redesk.com, it's not even finished. There is no conference. Guy basically social engineered him. I have to almost laugh at how he still has the energy for shanigans at our age.
