    Has anyone else here read the tell-all book "Disrupted: My Misadventure In The Start-Up Bubble"?

    It's bizarre and LOL funny. At one point it involves a C-level executive digging through the guy's home trash can in the middle of the night, and it ends in an FBI investigation.

    Wild. I did have a dotcom that ended (a couple of years after I left) with a phone call from a prosecutor in Chicago asking me about the database I designed. Evidently never went to court, but I was able to tell the prosecutor that "Oh no, of course we could link the people using our app with the web pages they visited." They seemed really excited about that. Ha!
