This is what happens when you take a group of bad people, toss them in a pit and drop in lots of money. They go crazy and rip each other apart. The whole lot of them, Volpi included and maybe especially. I feel bad for the employees and investors of Joost and Skype who ultimately are the losers in the face of this greed, ego and incompetence. Let’s pray Volpi never returns to the Valley – good riddance.
