The bad news is that it was easy to go from your HN username to figure out your company and problem CTO (I'd recommend a burner account for a question like this). Sorry, that looks like a horrible mess you have on your hands.

The good news is that searching within Linked in doesn't link the company to that man. A Google search however does show up his LinkedIn profile along with news articles that you probably don't want to be associated with.

I'm happy to hit the flag button if you'd like? If enough of us do that it should bury the post.

I'm impressed by your research skills, it took me more than 2 minutes but I just had to nail down the right parameters. About 8 years ago I gave a presentation at a high school about how easy it was for someone to take a nugget of personal information, and exploit it to find out more about them. Scared the snot out of some of those poor kids but I hope they took the lesson of protecting your personal data to heart.
