| Tech CEO goes to jail for being a bastard Too late to get Steve Jobs A Silicon Valley genius who sold his second online advertising company for $300 million at the age of 25 is now going to jail for being a nasty piece of work and violent to his girlfriends. Gurbaksh Chahal, who avoided jail time for a domestic violence conviction in 2014, was charged with 47 felonies and is spending a year in jail Friday after losing his appeal. The case is being highlighted as people start to question the cult of personality which has been built around technology company CEOs who were by all standards unpleasant bastards. Chahal was charged with felony domestic violence in 2013 after police say he punched and kicked his girlfriend 117 times inside his San Francisco penthouse. Security camera video evidence of the attack was deemed inadmissible after a judge ruled police had obtained it without a warrant. With no video and after his girlfriend declined to cooperate with police, Chahal pleaded guilty in 2014 to two misdemeanour battery charges of domestic violence and was sentenced to three years probation. https://fudzilla.com/news/47097-tech...eing-a-bastard |
