Of all the speculation on what could kill Facebook, did anyone ever imagine it might be a "wood fuel salesman" from New York? Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
- keltex 16y agoIt will never kill Facebook. Facebook as an entity will still exist. Sure there might be a change in ownership, lawsuits, etc. But nobody involved would want to threaten the functional business / golden goose which is Facebook.
- liuliu 16y agoGood intent doesn't always end up with good result. Maybe this guy doesn't want Facebook to die, but without Zuck, the company culture, the engineers will flee away rapidly. It will never be a good change to hand a tech company to a "wood fuel salesman".
- angstrom 16y agoWell, he did have the foresight to invest a mere $1000 in a potentially worthless venture, but more surprisingly, he had the patience to hang on to it. It would make for a rather infamous turn of events either way.
- andreyf 16y agoI don't think he'd threaten it, but rather would just immediately liquidate his share, and move on his merry way.
- mkramlich 16y agoUnless the fiction is a Cohen Brothers movie. In that I could see Facebook being killed off by a wood fuel salesman from New York.
- stcredzero 16y agoHopefully, no woodchippers will be involved in this story.
