NYT had a nice profile of one of the lawyers a few years ago [1]. It had this quote from Sam Altman:
>Asked to sum up the tech community’s feelings about Mr. Edelson, Sam Altman, president of Y Combinator, a technology incubator that invests in very young companies, said the lawyer was regarded as “a leech tarted up as a freedom fighter.”

- Overtonwindow 8y agoQuite right, thank you
- ginko 8y agoAre you implying Max Schrems is a leech?
- IBM 8y agoNope.
- vageli 8y agoIt's weird that they even included that quote where they did. It seems out of context given its pejorative connotation.
