linus is definitely going to prison, if not for this then for the financial crimes.

What's nuts is that he recently stepped down as CEO to focus on the video content. This would've been a great opportunity to stfu and let the new CEO handle communication. Instead his statement yesterday he acted like he was the victim

What's also crazy is that he turned down a large acquisition offer. If he took it and the same events happened, people would be at least blaming the acquiring company a bit and now it's all on Linus and Linus alone

Yeah, I thought about this today. I expect that the new CEO is not happy about Linus making a public response to the GN video.
