Thank you for saying this publicly. If more did the bubble around his persona would quickly pop.

I'd have no problem if all he did was negotiate good terms. He certainly owes his LPs that. The problem I have is presents the persona as being founder friendly. Sadly, he's at the far other side of that spectrum.

I guess the most favorable spin would be "That was long ago, and Vinod hopefully has learned better by now."

Nope, he hasn't except to know who to mess with. New founders get Bad Vinod. Experienced founders get Good Vinod.
