Snapchat CEO lashes out after Sony leaks

By Cory Bennett - 12/17/14 05:25 PM EST

Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel said Wednesday that he was “angry” and “devastated” at the information leaked about his disappearing messaging app as a result of the Sony hack.

Good chunks of Snapchat’s business plans were revealed Tuesday when the cyberattackers that hit Sony dumped Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton's email catalogue.

Lynton sits on Snapchat’s board of directors and had numerous candid email exchanges with Spiegel about hiring practices, possible acquisitions and potential future products.

“I felt like I was going to cry all morning,” said Spiegel in a letter sent to Snapchat staff that he later shared on Twitter. Spiegel defended his company’s right to keeping its blueprint private.

“We keep secrets because we get to do our work free from judgement — until we’re ready to share it,” he wrote. “We keep secrets because keeping secrets gives you space to change your mind until you’re really sure you’re right.”

“I felt like I was going to cry all morning,”

Ya sissy. Grow some.

PS. I ain’t got nuthin against a grown man crying. It’s real healthy. Unless it’s because of a business problem. That’s just metrosexual territory.

The picture is from an old movie called THE KEEP.

It was a rather obscure reference to something bad happening if one doesn’t follow the ...never... advice.
