Crazy that you can sexually harass women and buy up one of the world's amazing collections of space exploration artifacts. Karma is such a laughable concept

  Being deceived doesn't make you a bad person. Theranos deceived a lot of people. That's kind of the point.

I don't think this is a great place to re-litigate this, but I believe DFJ's investigation found a pattern of affairs, but not harassment. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/11/18/steve-jurvetson-left-dfj-over-pattern-deception-affairs-women-report-says/878237001/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/11/18/steve-jurvets... Which, eh, in my mind, harassment deserves heavy consequences but that also necessitates being careful to differentiate.

> While there were allegations of inappropriate behavior, DFJ did not receive an official complaint of harassment or misconduct.[28][29] While the findings of the investigation were not made public, anonymous sources alleged that the investigation "uncovered behaviors by Jurvetson that were unacceptable related to a negative tone toward women entrepreneurs. So anyway, what do you think should happen to him? All his possessions seized? Life in prison?

The only misconduct _alleged_ is that he had extramarital affairs and led women on: "Those sources said DFJ’s external investigators at the law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett discovered from at least two women — who confirmed their accounts to Recode — that Jurvetson had allegedly carried out affairs with multiple women simultaneously. Some of the women also said they felt led on by the married man and were unaware of the other relationships." https://www.vox.com/2017/11/18/16647078/steve-jurvetson-dfj-women-silicon-valley-tech-allegations-fired https://www.vox.com/2017/11/18/16647078/steve-jurvetson-dfj-...
