He milked them. I think he probably made verbal comittments, and never thought about emails etc between them might just bite him in his ass someday. By using all the collective data, and yes, CODE, he flew the coop snickering like Snidely Whiplash. By moving to the left coast, far away from his associates, he began to put ALL OF THEIR COLLECTIVE ideas together and launch. Oh sure, he launched the business, however, it was all done without ethics. In other words, he fucked his buddies for a buck. Now, how typical is that in the Valley? It happens everyday.He needs to remember tho, what goes around, comes around. It does appear Zuck violated his classmate’s trust. He milked them.
