"Retiring" is an interesting way to describe it. He took VC money, didn't like VC control, got into a court battle. He then settled for millions with the VCs, while his partners got nothing out of the settlement (http://www.assureconsulting.com/articles/arsdigitahisone.sht...).

It's interesting to see him slightly back in the public eye as an aircraft nerd.

Especially as an interviewee on an NPR story about Groupon. If I remember correctly NPR made no mention of Greenspun as having founded a seminal social media web app, before there was language to describe it that way.
