Microsoft's Nat Friedman Became Unemployed the Same Time the SLAPPs Against Techrights Started Coming From His Friends (Weeks After We Had Exposed Scandals About Him and the Serial Strangler, His Best Friend, Who Got Arrested a Few Days Later)
As we explained before, the first SLAPP came a day after this article about Microsoft's Nat Friedman and the Serial Strangler. He lost his job at Microsoft when we published this article. It's impossible to ignore all those connections and the SLAPP-facilitating law firm gets all paranoid and starts name-calling whenever the matter is brought up. Either it didn't know what it was getting into or it panics when it belatedly realises it all started in 2021, with repeated threats that weren't acted upon. They even lie to the Court about it.
Nat Friedman is not "Investor, entrepreneur". He's more likely unemployable after what happened and recent press reports (about a fortnight ago) suggested he was still pursuing a job or being pursued for a job. The Serial Strangler complains to me that he's unable to find a job (he wants one).
Anyway, about Friedman... he's bluffing.
He is not some billionaire "philanthropist". He and his sidekick Miguel de Icaza, who chat about monkeys' urine and then sabotage GNU/Linux vendors (like Novell; their real aim was .NET promotion) operate through a network of facilitators. Friedman originally came from Microsoft (which is where he worked) and now they try to call anyone who brings that up "conspiracy theorist". █
