If you read the comment by @grabeh you'll see that it's probably quite easy to research. In my reply to @grabeh are the reasons why I didn't give more details (such as the founders name).
I would have no problems if anyone else posted the real details here, but I wouldn't comfirm or deny it - unless there's a legal expert on here who could reassure me it's OK to post those details.
- junto 13y agoAfter reading it again, it suggests he stole data to start a company: The founder (let's call him John) had already worked in the translation industry, he'd stolen a few clients, some data, rented an office and hadn't really thought about the rest. I personally couldn't find the company, but if @grabeh could then maybe you should protect yourself from one of those nasty UK libel cases: http://www.theguardian.com/science/the-lay-scientist/2010/nov/19/2 http://www.theguardian.com/science/the-lay-scientist/2010/no... The story was great by the way. Well written. Nice to see another .NET dev on HN btw.

- gringofyx 13y agoThanks for reading (and the tips) I think .Net gets a lot of (undeserved) bad press. Beleive it or not I started out as a SmallTalk, Javascript & C++ developer but there wasn't a lot of love for that skillset back in 2002.
