Carroll LIED about the source of her legal funding.
Either way-—this billionaire should be thrown to the wolves.
I had numerous invites to join LinkedIn. DIDN’T.
Already had all the business I could handle.
Have learned that group is NOT something I would have wanted to be associated with.
“In June 2016, Microsoft announced that it would acquire LinkedIn for $196 a share, a total value of $26.2 billion, and the second largest acquisition made by Microsoft to date.”
“The company was founded in December 2002 by Reid Hoffman and the founding team members from PayPal and Socialnet.com (Allen Blue, Eric Ly, Jean-Luc Vaillant, Lee Hower, Konstantin Guericke, Stephen Beitzel, David Eves, Ian McNish, Yan Pujante, Chris Saccheri).[21] In late 2003, Sequoia Capital led the Series A investment in the company.”

“While at SocialNet, Hoffman was a member of the board of directors during the founding of PayPal, an electronic money transmission service. In January 2000, he left SocialNet and joined PayPal full-time as the company’s COO.[17] Allen Blue, whom Hoffman hired at PayPal, said that ‘PayPal had to scratch and claw for every advantage it had, and Reid became an expert at competing effectively in an extremely competitive environment.’ Hoffman was responsible for all external relationships for PayPal, including payments infrastructure (Visa, Mastercard, ACH, Wells Fargo), business development (eBay, Intuit, and others), government (regulatory, judicial), and legal. Peter Thiel, Hoffman’s boss at PayPal, has said that Hoffman ‘was the firefighter-in-chief at PayPal.’”
“In 2010 Hoffman joined Greylock Partners and made his first, early investment in AirBNB.”
“According to David Kirkpatrick’s book The Facebook Effect, Hoffman arranged the first meeting between Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel, which led to Thiel’s initial $500,000 angel investment in Facebook. Hoffman invested alongside Thiel in Facebook’s first financing round.”
