Altman's history of unethical behavior is lengthy and has been well documented across multiple organizations.

The fact that PG stands (still) behind him shows that nothing has really changed after the metoo movement; powerful people in SV will still ignore how someone treats others if they think the person will make them a pile of cash.

Some day they'll realize that out there are plenty of people with nearly the same or better skills and far better ethics. Altman isn't even that skilled on a technical level, but even if he was - you can teach people technical and leadership skills more easily than you can teach them ethical behavior.

We have hundreds of thousands of people with violent criminal pasts who have turned their lives around and now treat others ethically and equitably...with virtually no resources at their disposal, countless barriers, and all of society glaring down at them.

If they can do it, why can't Altman, who has immense resources at his fingertips?
