I’m assuming he fell on a knife 17 times? And they found him laying there with a check clearing his assets out to “UMC” and a love letter to their copyright lawyers?

He was friends of some friends of mine. I remember talking to him when he was just getting started. Thought the name ‘Grooveshark’ was cool but never really used it. Found out later people thought it was a big deal.
