I can only cite myself to emphasize the point that they didn’t:
> CEO and CTO are Belarusian (probably there are more C-level people who are Belarusian or Russian).
Actually, quick google search shows slavic (either Russian or Belarusian) names for CFO and CMO. Changing physical location means very little these days.
That's fair, I apologize. I just meant to point out that these people are the prisoners of their regimes regardless of where they live, hence the inability to trust their actions not because of their personal prejudices but their inherent ties to their origins. However I understand it was worded in such a way which might have looked like attack on their nationalities or personalities, which it wasn't.
Even invoking a concept like "inherent ties to origin" is inflammatory and likely to have a flamebait effect. HN is a highly international community and we need to respect each other as individuals, each with our own distinct background. Otherwise it quickly turns into a battlefield, which does no good.
