You may or may not want an affirmative action mail handler, school administrator or other paper pusher. But you definitely don't want an affirmative action president, doctor or fund manager. What surprises here is that an ostensibly intelligent woman like Ellen Pao latched on to an affirmative action huckster like Buddy Fletcher.

Buddy Fletcher and Ellen Pao’s marriage ending with mudslinging and acrimony...

No marriage should end like that.

Some marriages begin like that, but no marriage should end like that :)

Like so many “elites,” it appears that everyone would be better off far away from both of them.

I really don’t know who any celebs are any more. Including these two.

Fletcher was also known to hang around intellectual elites like Anita Hill and Henry Louis Gates Jr., who were the beneficiaries of a Harvard University fellowship that Fletcher funded in his own name.

LOL! This "couple" is the Affirmative Action version of Bill and Hillary. They know how to shake down rich white liberals (SJW's). No sympathy for either of them, nor their foolish investors.

She’s a “diversity and inclusion” zealot, also. They deserve each other.

Huh? Pao is an affirmative action huckster in her own right, after suing Kleiner Perkins in 2012 for gender discrimination and losing. She was also forced out of Reddit for her SJW activities.

“What surprises here is that an ostensibly intelligent woman like Ellen Pao latched on to an affirmative action huckster like Buddy Fletcher.”

She is an extremely sick and angry woman, so I doubt she even realized that he was affirmative action, until it was too late.

What’s hardest to get my hands around is how one with so much money $150M would not spread some of it around, at least to his family, for a rainy day, as in now. That would be legal and if done reasonably early, couldn’t be touched by the courts.

But I guess he either didn’t do that, or no one he gave his money to thinks he’s worth giving it back.

Ellen Pao is every bit the discrimination huckster Fletcher is Zhang

Actually she’s worse, it’s her whole thing now to destroy to the patriarchy of Silicon Valley

What is most weird to me is how Fletcher lived as an openly homosexual man for years and then marries Pao and impregnates here....we guess anyhow

Weird agent ville

Fletcher lived and died by the PIPE

Warren Buffet was a party to some of his market hijinks

His fund would short a public company then announce that they were representing Buffett buying via PIPE a big chunk of said public company which usually at least temporarily drove a stock price down.

Or they would do it themselves and then use the PIPE shares to cover the short.

SEC looked poorly on such tactics and Fletchers hedge fund was one of the worst

I sure don’t believe he’s broke

Yeah, but she’s just as bad. I’d say he had not the ability to recognize the red flags early on...
