At least they tried to clean up Uber before the IPO. This thing just seems really sloppy on multiple fronts.

Yea the ceo seems a bit of an egotistical guy, and felt we work was so awesome the “retail” markets would look past the shenanigans. He was wrong, and he’s back pedaling to salvage it. First the trademark payment, now this. Hopefully he will also clean up the corporate structure and his voting power (but prob not).

He already sold $700M worth. [1] I'm not sure he cares anymore.

>and the over $100 million that Mark Pincus took off the table ahead of Zynga’s offering.

Damn, I know someone who got screwed over by the IPO lockup there.

It's not ego, it's greed.
