I don't think it implies Charlie agreed at all, it actually implies the opposite. That's quite an ugly statement.

I'd personally be very hesitant to partner with Adam after reading this, considering how this incident played out. Well... who am I kidding, if I had the opportunity to found the next Quora I'd jump on it, but I'd be watching for knives the whole time..

Would someone have the power to oust Charlie unwillingly? I dont know much about how the company was split up so am wondering.

The drama of these tech companies bores me except insofar as it relates to my personal account. Don't founders leave companies all the time, especially when theyve already made a lot of money? Also I feel like at some point all these decisions are mutual.

In my experience knowing people who have chosen both ways (not the same person of course), watching for knives is a sad sad way to live.

I dunno, there's clearly a risk there based on his apparent behaviour here, but there's also an obvious opportunity - who'd _not_ want a cofounder who's not only prepared but also able to dump $400mil into his own B round?

I think you mean $40mil since the total was only 50.
