  I don't think that respecting his wishes is a virtuous thing to do in this situation. If what you've said is true, first he extorted you and then he lied about extorting you. In effect, he slandered you by saying that you got him fired over a misunderstanding. Protecting him from a isolated indiscretion of youth is fine, but he's revealed his true character with a series of immoral acts. Not releasing the transcripts also prevents people from knowing whether what you've said is really true. By protecting him, you're actually harming yourself.

    Agreed, who gives a damn about this guys 'stature' for working at Tech Crunch. Last time I checked extortion was a serious crime, he should be exposed and the authorities should be investigating how wrong his actions were or weren't. Beyond that the transcripts should be released so everyone in the industry knows EXACTLY the type of person he is and whether they want to deal with him. Bribery and extortion kills political careers, and it should kill journalistic careers too.

    I think Sam is trying to clear his name and at the same time adding as little fuel to the fire as possible.
