Yishan is almost terminally stupid.
If this isn't a joke, he and a ton of other people are going to be sued into the ground for this. If it is a joke, then he and a ton of other people are going to be investigated and possibly sued anyway.
- kordless 11y agoHe's saying publicly that Ellen was framed, so yeah. It's probably not a joke. http://www.businessinsider.com/yishan-wong-says-alexis-ohanian-failed-ellen-pao-2015-7 http://www.businessinsider.com/yishan-wong-says-alexis-ohani...
- cracell 11y agoWhile I can see how this could hurt his future employment prospects what legal ground is there to sue over this post? Seems like slander would be a very hard case to win and what else is there that you could sue him for?

- nostrademons 11y agoYishan was a member of the PayPal mafia and started working as an eng director at Facebook in 2005, so it's very likely he has F-U money already. This is someone actually exercising the "F-U" part. I also don't really see what there's grounds to sue on - pretty much all of business is based on taking advantage of undervalued assets and changing control of them so they can be better utilized. Framing it as a long con won't make any friends at Conde Nast, but all the moves at Reddit have (to my knowledge) been by-the-book, legally.
