I am attempting to add your website’s Rss to my own feed reader but it is certainly not operating appropriately, you may would like to check it out to make sure its operating correctly.

He wouldn’t make it into the money… I’ve played with him… I was really fortunate enough NOT to be working for him (He called me up 3 times to be interviewed, each taking 2 hours) and in the end he didn’t take me in… I should thank him big time for this…
Sad to see Clay and his parents lost money over this saga. Hey Clay, go look for him in TechCrunch… I’m pretty sure with a position like CTO, he should be able to return you your money in no time!

Hi Clay,

I saw your tweet about Orgoo. Any plans to do a post about your experience there?

Also keen to hear about your positive experiences investing in Australian startups!

Cheers,

Ned

@Vaso – Thanks for your comments. I am sorry to hear about Nik’s parents. Someone else has told very me very similar information which is just so sad. I hope for their sake Nik can make amends.

Clay, I know Nik and he has not only lost your money but that of his parents, they lost their home and all assets. Now in there old age approaching retirement they should be enjoying life instead they are in rented premises. And for Nik no remorse, what is he up to, borrowed money and off to Vegas to win World Series Poker…What a loser!!!

Maybe the other lesson is that if you go offline for a while, everyone will forget.

I was surprised to see that him as the author of http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/19/the-anatomy-of-the-twitter-attack/ . I hope everything is well with him, and everything was resolved as best it could be.

@steve – thanks for the comments. and yes most times the skills are more important than the money… or that’s the money you should be taking if you are an entrepreneur anyway. i certainly made it clear that ours was a fairly passive investment as we have too many other business interests, however this does not mean ‘don’t contact me if you have issues and need help/advice’.

@larry – couldn’t agree with you more. time is a massive factor in most people’s success. stick at it and work hard and the majority of your close competition will drop off.

@Dr. Otto – sorry to hear about that. unfortunately a lot of people were effected.

@kim – thanks for the luck. some of them are gonna need it! others will get there through having a great team and working long and hard.

yes $100k is a bit to lose, and I would have preferred to have placed it elsewhere, but you live and learn i guess.
