Be Careful How Much You Brag Over Email

from the hasn't-he-learned? dept

Obviously Peter Chung has never heard of Claire Swire. Chung, upon taking a new job with the Carlyle Group in Seoul, Korea, sent out quite an email bragging about his life style which seemed to involve quite a lot of sex and partying while other investment bankers at the firm acted as his personal servants. His friends who received the email did what any good set of friends would do (just ask Bradley Chait) and forwarded the message on to everyone they could think of. The email snowball continued onward eventually reaching (of course) a managing director's email box. The MD then woke up Chung's boss in the middle of the night to fire him.

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.

–The Techdirt Team
