She's interim CEO of reddit.
What do you do for a living, being "employable" and all?
A Manhattan judge has ruled that the 49-year-old investor owes his former law firm $2.7 million in unpaid legal bills.
Add that to the more than $140 million in court judgments and tax liens against the Harvard-educated fallen finance whiz and his fund, and you have one of the oddest Wall Street stories in recent memory.
While Fletcher owns three apartments in Manhattan’s exclusive Central Park West Dakota co-op, an $8.85 million self-described castle in Connecticut’s tony Litchfield County, and, with his wife Ellen Pao, a $1.5 million San Francisco home, the ex-hedgie stands accused of cheating Massachusetts and Louisiana cops and firefighters out of more than $100 million and not paying close to $3 million in taxes.
Pao told friends that she did not plan to sue Kleiner Perkins. She says she approached them with her attorney because another woman, a junior partner, had complained about harassment and she wanted the firm to address its problems with women. According to friends, she expected that when Kleiner Perkins heard all her complaints, the firm would rectify the problems, and compensate her—and that she would go on working happily at the firm. Kleiner did immediately hire an outside investigator, who, the firm says, eventually concluded that Pao’s complaints were “without merit.” It was at this point, says a friend, that Pao decided she had no option but to sue, which she did, on May 10, a month after Fletcher’s F.I.A. Leveraged Fund was ordered liquidated by a Cayman Islands court, and weeks before his main fund filed for bankruptcy in New York.
Also, that they are effectively bankrupt and owe the IRS, lawyers and their creditors millions of dollars and Alphonse is also known to be a serial filer of lawsuits but also known to have lost all of these lawsuits.
Speaking of unemployable...I saw something about the chic-fil-a dude the other day who is nigh unemployable.
I stand corrected.
I'm always amazed at how much those who have made far more than the average person can accrue debt that far exceeds what the same average person could even have access to. And then whisk it all away with bankruptcy.
That is because having/making a lot of money versus managing a lot money are two separate things.
Just because you make or have a lot of money does not mean you are skilled at or know how to manage said large sums of money correctly.
And there's Adria Richards who attested in an interview that she hasn't been able to get a job since the Donglegate incident (the guy she got fired immediately found another employer)
Should we start a thread for people who are unemployable thanks to their internet notoriety? ;p
I feel uneasy about the notion that people who do something offensive but legal can end up never being able to work again. That can be more life ruining (for both him and his family) than a modest jail sentence...
He should be unemployable. He filmed himself being a total dick to a young girl unable to walk away, physically threaten him or even debate him. Then he put it on the Internet to show everyone what a wonderful guy he is. Dude is literally too stupid to be trusted with a company's money, reputation, or sharp objects.Speaking of unemployable...I saw something about the chic-fil-a dude the other day who is nigh unemployable.
The one who went through the drive through and berated the girl at the window.
He got hired somewhere else, but was fired when they found out who he was.

Don't you think removing his ability to ever get work again is a little harsh?
He made a video where he went on a rant about Chik-Fil-A supporting hate groups and threw in at the end that he doesn't understand how she works there, while also saying she deserves better. He didn't come off as threatening. He made her uncomfortable for all of about a minute.
Sure it was wildly inappropriate and inconsiderate to the worker, and arrogant to pull off as a stupid publicity stunt to make him feel like a good guy fighting a good fight (he even pats himself on the back for it). After he lost his job he posted an apology video to the woman. Don't you think removing his ability to ever get work again is a little harsh?
She is an interim CEO.
Once they hire a real CEO who the heck is going to hire her?
Would you?
Reddit hired her as interim CEO after she filed the lawsuit.
