#2I saw this early, and it was killed. Not sure why...this is right up HN's alley. Not many people talk about this stuff publicly, so it's pretty interesting to hear someone talk honestly and openly about it.

1. He said that it was sold between 1 year ago and 4 years ago. In addition, his company is still going.
2. He said that before taxes he had 30 million dollars, so the startup was sold for >=30 million dollars.
3. He is married and has an 11 year old daughter (and at least one more kid). Him and his wife are at least 30 years old.
4. At least one newspaper reported on him selling his startup.
I tried using CrunchBase to search for his startup but the list of companies sold in the last 5 years is huge...

Did he say his company was founded solely by him?

If we assume that everything that the OP has said is true, I dont think that this is Joshua:
1. Joshua works at Google, OP says that he does not have a job.
2. It looks like Joshua isnt married.

I'm pretty curious too. The affiliate marketing IAMA was not killed. this is pretty good and useful to the community here. let's just keep the "lets guess who it is" commentary to a minimum.

#10I must say the comments on this reddit thread amuse me more than most. Nothing like a guy with a good sense of humor.
