He's gone through something as traumatic as a lawsuit, a resignation, potential for trial, potential embarrassment of family, friends, colleagues all in the last two weeks... And his sign-off is that he has, in the midst of it all, already begun to work on a new startup?
Proof of authenticity? Anyone could have registered that tumblr, and it has no other content. Please leave tabloid gossip to the tabloids until real information is available - and then leave it off HN.

Huh? From what Keith says, his accuser is claiming that non-consensual acts occurred. Whether that is the case will be up to the courts to decide, but this is not just "Sex happens"
He said the suit alleges the relationship was not consensual. There's a difference, and I'm guessing it's oriented around the employment aspect.
I don't mean rape (or else I think Keith's response would have a different approach). How Keith describes it, it could be anything relationship-related, just as sexual harassment does not necessarily involve sex.

Please forgive me if I don't count coverage by Techcrunch as verification. Did he tweet it? Link from FB? Send a signed email? It could be legit, but the bar should be higher than this.
Every tech site is referencing it.

Yes, you're right. The suit apparently alleges that the relationship itself was not consensual. However, that almost necessarily means that acts within that relationship, if they were seen as "necessary to keep the relationship going", would be non-consensual. I don't mean rape (or else I think Keith's response would have a different approach). How Keith describes it, it could be anything relationship-related, just a…
If I were to enter into a relationship with you, and I said that the only way I would continue the relationship is if you kept it under wraps, then is that really qualification as sexual harassment?
The fact that we provide legal representation for people who have the choice to discontinue a relationship is beyond me.
