An absolutely classic scandal is the last few days have been coiled in the fabled iværksætterparadis Silicon Valley in California.
A scandal that includes a robust cocktail of blackout, a massive consumption of strippers and internal struggles in a stenrig software company.
It writes Bloomberg.
the Case started in the beginning of 2019, as the software company Turvo Inc. – a successful enterprise in Silicon Valley – got 60 million dollars pumped into the company from a foreign investor.
It was a co-founder and ceo, the 39-year-old Eric Gilmore, to hire a new finance director, who should review the company’s expenditure over a number of years.
Employment hit Eric Gilmore as a boomerang.
It was not long before the new finance director had sight of a number of expenses, as so very strange.
Expenditure, which in total amounted to 125,000 dollar that was spent on ‘representation’.
And not enough of it.
76.120 dollar – which corresponds to the 509.000 dollars – was spent on strip clubs.
Director Eric Gilmore had actually not even tried to hide it.
He had just handed over the receipts from the stripklubberne, where he – over a three year period – several times had invited business partners to entertain them.
In may, the board of directors in Turvo consequence, called Eric Gilmore for a meeting and fired him.
But it was Eric Gilmore not happy with.
He denied not the solidity of the expenditure to the strip, but he did not, that the company had followed the correct procedures in connection with the dismissal.
He contacted a number of lawyers and brought suit.
It triggered a fierce lawsuit, which flow in the three months before the parties entered into a settlement.
Most differences between, perhaps, to Eric Gilmore is far from finished in the Turvo Inc.
He remains the majority shareholder of the company and are of the same cause in the board of directors along with several of the people that gave him silkesnoren in connection with the strippersagen.
Turvo Inc. however, turned one thing clear: It is now officially forbidden for employees to invite the company’s business at the strip club on the company’s behalf.
