STAND UP TO BULLIES ! Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital, Yahoo’s Ross Levinsohn, Steve Hall-update: pillars of Silicon Valley caught committing fraud

Integrity is not something you can decide to have one day, and not have on another day.

 

press release- SiliconValley VC JuryTrial Starts 2-27-1

There is no personal animosity on our part towards anyone in this case. While unrelenting animosity has been expressed towards us, attacks and threats of a personal nature, that is not the motivation on our part.

The depositions themselves tell the story of the contemptuous attitude these men exhibit towards the law. We are merely saying, it’s not all right to aggressively try and convince someone to invest more money in your start up, when they have clearly and repeatedly declined to do so again; and, by lies, false promises, ending in outright fraud no less- to then try to blame them publicly, for your business’s failure. It’s not alright to commit fraud! It’s not all right to do that. It’s not all right to leave that person with nothing, to destroy what it took years for them to build, in an attempt to get them “to freak out and throw more money at it” directly into your pockets, to purportedly fix it. And it’s not all right, especially if your pockets already contain billions, to commit fraud merely for a tax write off. This is about illegal activities being conducted by those who present themselves as pillars of the community. This is about getting justice gentlemen. But mostly, this is about standing up to bullies.

There needs to be a standard set- without a baseline of justice, Silicon Vallley will be more ruinous to this country than all the bankers that have been sucked into the powerful vortex of greed combined.

startups: CBS, Edward R. Morrow, Walter Cronkite, STANDING UP TO BULLIES

 

Well, my Dad did have a very successful start up back in the day. At the time, no one really understood what ‘television’ was.  Sixty years later the internet has defined it, only when the full arc of television is complete- and with CBS, that was then, the internet, this is now. Its a new era, but the same things that made for success then, make for success now, even though we’re still figuring out the ramifications of this new media and how it will ultimately play out.

 

Excellence. Integrity. Truth. Responsibility. Love of Country.

Dad had to be clean as a whistle.  Having been part of World War II in London and Paris, and there on the day they liberated Buchenwald, he also saw the full horrors of one of the major Nazi concentration camps. He was friend and boss of the great journalist Edward R. Morrow, when the love was bold and strong for the United States of America. We had come in and rescued the world, and the pride in the freedoms we fought and died for was cresting. Everyone felt a responsibility for doing the best they could. Dad felt a tremendous responsibility to his country, the USA, and the airwaves.

To compare those days to what is happening in Silicon Valley, its pretty tragic. Except, from afar, for Steve Jobs. The love, the thrill you felt he had for developing Apple products- we don’t know how blessed we are yet. He got it. Lets set a high standard. Let’s inspire. That was Dad and ‘the Tiffany network’. Excellence, in integrity, in quality, in design,in entertainment, in the news- being truthful. Those were the days Edward R. Morrow singlehandedly seemed to bring the McCarthy hearings to a hault- “have you no decency, sir, at long last?”  he said to Mr. McCarthy in a live interview. Someone needs to say that to some of Silicon Valley. But its mob rule in there right now. You’d be lynched.

And then there was Walter Cronkite. When Cronkite went to Vietnam and saw the horror of what was going on there- and when Cronkite spoke up on his live evening news broadcast and said outright that the war was wrong- that was the end of that war.

Lyndon Johnson famously said the next day, ‘if  we’ve lost Walter Cronkite, we’ve lost the nation’.

Who has the moral authority to stand up to anything anymore? Everyone has sold out. As I said, the warnings have been loud and clear. If you try to rock our boat….it isn’t said out loud, but you can see them making that gesture, that says, you will die.

Matthew 12:14
