Is the news source actually a google drive document?

You can make an open records request to the Travis County Courts system if you want to verify it.

You can also search the Travis County Court portal for "graveley, balabhadra" and see there's a pre-indictment felony case against him.

I am curious why you call him "serial abuser", does he have previous convictions already?

For now, it is "he says she says" situation, and court proceeding will show details in the future.

I've spoken to several people that have described anything ranging from emotionally abusive rants, workplace sexual harassment, and sexual assault.

He assaulted me too.

Hi [name redacted], thank you for providing a way to verify the document. That is really great. As a brief explanation. I was genuinely surprised by the publishing format. This is entirely unrelated to the content of the document. I had not seen google drive as a way to self-publish before. So my intention was not (at least not consciously) to doubt the validity of the claim, but more of a meta-comment. I don‘t know Graveley (and had never heard of him before). I am sorry if you were hurt by him (as you mentioned in another comment).

It's not so easy, connecting [name redacted] and Balabhadra without resorting to OP's writing was quite tricky - after looking at some Dropbox patents I _think_ that's the same person, but still ain't sure.

...I'm not mystified about claims of friendship with Nat Friedman - I don't have a high opinion of the latter, I see evidence of friendship with other Open Source folks, and that kind of people tends to be "friends" with _a lot_ of people.

Here's the warrant showing that "Alex Graveley" as an alias https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PG-B5678UbxeBz87Rpwn3hmWcVu...

...that's still relying entirely on you, though. I don't see any other public source. Perhaps I could request that from the cops - but I'm not American. Elsewhere you mentioned communication with de Icaza - wouldn't be the first time someone like that would hide their head in the sand, but it's still a bit hard to parse that he didn't say anything publicly.

You don't have to be an American to make an open records request.

Here's a patent for MobileCoin calling him [name redacted]. https://patents.justia.com/inventor/balabhadra-alex-graveley

Works for me, thanks.

When I spoke to Miguel, he said both Alex and Nat were "assholes when they were drunk."

He also said that Nat had "Hurt him deeply" and they don't talk much anymore. From what I can tell Miguel stayed friends with Alex and congratulated him on the launch of Copilot even knowing about the abuse that happened to me in greater detail than I had shared publicly.

The docket number is right there and the court as well. If you are skeptical you can just look it up at the courts website yourself or call the court or send them an email. You can do a lot of stuff yourself before spreading doubt.
