Retro-thread about him getting pushed out of Mozilla. At the time, maybe still today, the largest-by-far donors supporting the Foundation were a financially-very-successful gay couple, I believe New York-based financiers whose names escape me, and who IIRC had the ears of a number of other prominent donors. A significant chunk of the Foundation's even-then modest budget came from that, and when this blew up, it put the entire financial structure of Mozilla as a not-beholden-to-shareholders, privately-held-by-a-not-for-profit entity at risk.
