What?!
It's not that surprising. Reputation is a big deal in Silicon Valley. The people who won't do whatever is necessary--even end a human life, if it comes to that--to defend their reputations end up having theirs taken away.
I'm not saying this is a good or moral thing. It's obviously not.

GP comment seems false to me. Being well within both groups, I've never heard of this from any 1st or 2nd degree contacts.
In Silicon Valley or on Wall Street, when people lose jobs on reference checks, people often get hit men sent to their house, and while the objective usually is just intimidation, all sorts of bad things can happen in that situation.
Putting someone at risk of getting killed because "his references weren't as enthusiastic as I expect everyone to be" is fucking immoral.
