I think what's most terrifying is they raised roughly $100,000,000 USD in funding, from folks like Larry Ellison at that.

From the article:

Any interesting views from your office? "Well, the building opposite of us has two ladies of . . . 'professional status,' shall we say."

... at least we know where the money went.

Again from the article.

What was the most unusual bonus? "It's not one we can publish."

Suspicions confirmed perhaps?

Once again from the article

Little perks: "We operate outside the law. . . . We go out for curry dinners and booze and a lot of other things I can't mention

... that's the 3rd allusion to possibly having spent the money on hookers in the same article... or I'm just suspicious.

Perhaps Jason Calacanis can add that to his list of tips for startups - don't spend investment money on hookers :)
