I worked with people who worked with him before Uber. When the news came out they were surprised. They thought he was the scapegoat.
I never worked with him. That personal anecdote does not exonerate him at all but it does give me second thoughts. Truth is nuanced sometimes.

- tptacek 6y agoI'm interested in your opinion here. After reading the indictment, which is fairly detailed, you still think that Sullivan is nearly blameless? Or do you just think other execs at Uber are also culpable?
- jedberg 6y agoIt's hard to say. An indictment is necessarily one sided -- it's a document by a prosecutor with the goal of establishing guilt. There is nothing that prevents them from omitting information that is favorable to their target. That comes later during the defense's discovery process. So the indictment sounds bad, but at this point I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and wait to find out the other side of the story.
- tptacek 6y agoThat makes sense. Thanks!
