At the moment it's allegations. The outrage should come after evidence is uncovered. Not that it will matter in the end.

The Axios article (https://www.axios.com/pro-rata-2446752020.html https://www.axios.com/pro-rata-2446752020.html) details a long history of sketchy behavior. In addition to the three accusers: - While at lightspeed, accusations from a female founder at a portfolio company was serious enough that the "situation rose to the broader board level, with the ultimate resolution resulting in non-disclosure agreements on all sides." - While at Bain Ventures, a female founder accused Justin of inviting him over to his hotel room to "finish the conversation" even knowing she had a BF (not that being single would make it at all appropriate). - Two other female founders with similar stories that don't want to go on the record I also think it's worthy to note that all his (public) accusers are asian, as is his wife.

I just want to say that this is the tip of the iceberg...more will certainly come out soon as other young ladies step forward. I've heard many many stories of much worse (note: jailtime) things done by Binary capital. I urge those who have a platform to further investigate the matter.

  He admitted in the deposition (10-years ago) for the current trial that he gave the girl Benadryl to relax. I've never known any guy ever to give a girl Benadryl. If she is sick, take care of her. Don't dose her and have sex with her.
