The original story is at: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3220819 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3220819 The link is meant to go to a comment where somebody asks about the Zynga situation, and Fred Wilson replies with: "i think it is an example of what the media does to companies that are in the quiet period. when mark and zynga can tell their side of the story, i think people will realize that zynga is a meritocracy where performance matters more than anything else " And: "please don't make the mistake of hearing only one side of the story when the other side can't talk because they are in a quiet period. when the truth can and will come out, i think you will realize what zynga does is not only fair and equitable, it is doing it in the interest of fairness for everyone. but you can do one thing. go look at Zynga's S1 and look at how much stock employees and former employees own versus how much stock Mark owns. mark is generous to a fault in my opinion." Basically, only one side of the story has surfaced so far, and those in the know on the other side are legally bound to keep quiet for the moment.
