I’m listening to a panel discussion right now featuring six former members of the L0pht hacking collective and Mudge, perhaps the most famous member of the group, just told a great story about the group going to ask Battery Ventures for the money to help fund @stake. Speaking to Chris Wysopal, aka Weld Pond, he said:
“I remember going to pick you up at your house to go see Battery and you said, Do I wear a suit? And both your wife and I said, When you’re asking someone for ten million dollars, you wear a [expletive deleted] suit.”
