That's a pretty serious accusation to level against a respected journalist[1] writing for one of America's most respected publications. Which items in Schreiber's New Republic piece[2] do you take issue with?
At the very least you are factually incorrect that the article "adds nothing of substance" to your earlier blog post. The things that Schreiber alleges -- being in Boston to handle a lawsuit from a former co-founder without telling your partners, petty lying about purchasing and losing an iPad, concealing the amount of time you'd known about the tax issues, etc. -- were not covered in that blog post and paint a very different picture of your leadership of Amicus than what you've claimed.
And honestly, I wish I'd known about this TNR piece when I read your earlier blog post on Hacker News. I would have seriously discounted your advice if I'd seen how sharply your version of events diverged from those of a respected journalist doing lots of research and making your emails publicly available[3]. I don't know why the parent comment was flagkilled -- Schreiber's allegations raise serious questions about your credibility to offer advice to founders, and as a reader I'd appreciate commenters pointing out the other side of the story.
I was referring to this comment's super-parent, but I didn't know the TNR piece had a Hacker News thread! When I got here, this comment's super-parent just said [flagkilled] and I assumed it was the TNR piece because the New Zealander commenting below referenced lack of CEO vetting -- which is the final third of the TNR piece.
I edited my above comment to clarify that I meant the parent comment was flagkilled.
