Nah...I've interacted with this douchebag. This is totally in character for him. Surprised it took so long for this to bubble up. He was identified on Secret a few years ago for this type of behavior. Finally caught up to him.
From TFA:
> In a statement, Mr. Caldbeck said, “I strongly deny The Information’s attacks on my character. The fact is, I have always enjoyed respectful relationships with female founders, business partners, and investors.”
"UPDATE: Through a spokesman, Mr. Caldbeck issued an additional statement on Thursday afternoon: "Obviously, I am deeply disturbed by these allegations. While significant context is missing from the incidents reported by The Information, I deeply regret ever causing anyone to feel uncomfortable. The fact is that I have been privileged to have worked with female entrepreneurs throughout my career and I sincerely apologize to anyone who I made uncomfortable by my actions. There’s no denying this is an issue in the venture community, and I hate that my behavior has contributed to it."
Oh, he is guilty. This shit is nothing new for him either. Always been this way. Was one of those star jocks in high school who used to torment nerds and go out with the cheerleaders. Total bro. Fuck these guys. Time to turn Silicon Valley back to the nerds and geeks (of whatever persuasion, color, gender, etc.). These assholes need to go back to Wall Street so we can build in peace.
