Simple version: If he thinks and thought the Groupon scenario is "absolutely disgusting" why did he advise, take a board position, and retain shares in an "absolutely disgusting" venture?
Options presented by me:
A) "absolutely disgusting" is an exaggeration
B) JF is a hypocrite
C) JF has changed his mind over time
