Terraform Labs was based in Seoul. The name of the company was not "Terraluna". I'm uncertain what Silicon Valley has to do with Terraform Labs, WeWork, nor Gravity Payments given that neither of these companies were based in the valley. If you are attempting to make a jab at Silicon Valley, it doesn't seem to be landing.
How could I forgot about Theranos - Sand Hill Road - Bazinga.

> usually no smoke without a fire is pretty good thumb-rule about these things No, that's exactly the reason why trial by Twitter shouldn't be done, you don't know what actually happened.
This isn’t trial by Twitter. This is actual human beings approaching legitimate newspapers with fact checking departments and legal departments and risks of defamation lawsuits, providing their stories and attaching their names to it. Everyone of the entities involved are at risk of being sued for defamation if they are lying in this situation. The fact that people can’t tell the difference between Twitter BS and act…
Some might see it as a true indictment of modern journalism, more concerned with generating clicks than reporting news. Also the bar for defamation is extremely high, spreading lies is not enough to qualify.

#84Sounds like lots of women wanted him and he wanted lots of them.
But they didn't want to share. Mean.

>After Ms. Margis liked one of his Instagram posts in 2020, Mr. Price, who was 35, messaged her: “Happy Valentine’s Day beautiful!”
This already is a huge red flag in my opinion.

#87“The one moral CEO in America.” That's up there with Ken Lay's proclamation that Enron set the bar for corporate ethics (I can't find the exact quote, and obviously before the collapse). 'The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.' -- Ralph Waldo Emerson. Anyhoo, I have no actual idea if the accusations against Price are founded or not. That's for the courts to decide. I'm not into the whole…
"Innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt" is the gate for government violence, but as a society we operate on a very different standard, for very good reasons. Multiple credible accusations, corroborated by contemporaneous accounts, collated by a reputable journalist is definitely enough to call the accusations founded. Not enough to send people with guns to take away his freedom, maybe, but enough to fo…
The legal system is already involved. Why are you so anxious to form an opinion?

Can we stop with this unfounded speculation please? These are real human beings we are talking about with serious allegations. Let the court follow its due process and come to a decision. The jury is still out there. Innocent until proven guilty. All this armchair criticism and judgement on HN is turning out to be a very poor reading experience.
Claiming she is accusing him for "for sweet money" is as much unfounded accusation as the response to it. Actually even more if you look at the actual content of what posters wrote. While the response you reacted to contained mild claim, the original one was flat out vilification and direct accusation. Why is it that the former one is acceptable, but people who respond to it have to tip toes around?
I agree with you. I did not mean that the former comment is acceptable. Both comments are not unacceptable. I chose the lower comment to reply to. That might have given that impression. But I find speculation for either sides to be problems. Nobody should have to tip toe around. A good response to the speculation in upper comment could have been to point out that it is speculation and unfounded, not make more speculations!

What is the value of forming an opinion about someone we will probably never interact with and has no influence on our lives? I can understand if you work for his company or know him in person. But for the rest of the internet, I don't see the purpose except to fuel outrage.
