In addition he ran scala-tools.com which he opended up ( kindly) as a nexus host for lots of early scala tooling. However when Typesafe snubbed him he decided to divest himself of it, but not before asking someone to give him some money for the domain name ( we don't know how much he never said ). The community then needed to scramble for alternative hosting. Also on his way out he wrote some very negative posts about the language.
