What does fishy even mean? Why does everything have to be a conspiracy theory? Noah got bought out of his Odeo shares at the same price as the rest of the investors and then later got a piece of Twitter (even though he only worked on that for 3-5 months and thus wouldn't have even met the standard qualifier of a one year vesting cliff).
He's a great guy and I can see how this was painful. He wanted in and wasn't allowed. But that's not the same as it being unfair or him getting screwed.
Why leave him out of the story? They left a lot of people out of the story because otherwise it would be a catalog of Odeo employees. Every one at Odeo has some story about how they contributed (including this here Engineering Manager) but there's a big difference between those of us who merely did our jobs and those who really took on the responsibility for making Twitter happen.
In the end I think the right people got the credit.
