More Lying Dot Com Execs
from the that's-quite-a-lot-of-lies dept
The latest in a string of top execs at dot coms who have been caught lying about their past is Farid Khoujinian of Luna Information Systems. It appears he never graduated with a degree from Harvard, or with a PhD from Columbia (despite claims that he did). Then there are a bunch of smaller lies concerning jobs that he never held, and his amazing soccer career. Do people really think they won't get caught when they do this? The best part is his explanation for the PhD at Columbia (despite only spending a semester there) was that he continued to "do research informally". Oh, I see... did I mention that by now I've got 4 or 5 PhD's based on my "informal research". Yeah, that's it...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
