Listen the InterWeb is the wild west and Mr. Rinehart is just playing by those rules. If the boys in NYC want to give up the money whats wrong with that? Once they implode via scandle, youboob will find another startup who will provide them with below cost hosting to fule ‘yet another round of funding’.

At least they dont have to worry about sunspots.
