You recently tweeted this:

Jessica Livingston is taking a sabbatical from @ycombinator to distance herself from coming founder-conduct scandals. Smart move. CC @paulg

In response to news that Jessica Livingston was taking a year's sabbatical from YCombinator.

Without naming names, what kind of founder-conduct scandals are we talking about here? Financial, sexual harassment, discrimination etc?

Why do you think YN insists on having its companies move to SF? Is it a control-freak thing or is there a more practical reason to force a cash-strapped startup to move to one of the most expensive cities in North America?

Wearing my tinfoil hat, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these VCs weren't making a fortune in the local property market as well due to their artificially inflated demand. SF as a "company town".
