The person who was accused of "stealing customer data" was the other co-founder - not Adora (CEO & now YC partner).

If you actually look into the details of the matter, what happened was that the co-founder acquired the failed company as it was put through a bankruptcy process.

People who weren't privy to the process thought it was stealing when it really wasn't different from any other acquisition.

How can you say all that and not mention the fact that they are sibling? You make it sound like 2 separate person that have no relationship to each other. It looks like you have something to hide by just ignoring that big fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homejoy

Don't you think it's possible that the person you're responding to has a different understanding of what a sibling relationship means? I think it's a little rude to inject your feelings about what a sibling relationship must be and resort to innuendo.

So, her brother?

You're right that it may not have been "stealing" in the strict legal sense, but it was unethical and deceptive. More details here:

My comment doesn't use the word CEO so I'm not sure what point you are making.

Ok sure but what was the implication you were trying to make?
