The General Allegations reads like the synopsis of a Silicon Valley episode.

It indeed does. Firing someone with that kind of track record for incompetence within 3 weeks and then bad mouthing to all four winds about it? Something more credible would be that visions did not align, clash of personalities, or that he did not fit the culture, but incompetence? Also, isn't standard practice for companies to only confirm employment rather than give a review exactly for this kind of lawsuits?

Well, if his claims are accurate and they are defrauding investors, I'm sure they want to trash him before he can suggest anyone else look into it.

"Oh, THAT guy? Ya, he's just angry we fired him because he's an idiot and has no idea what the numbers we were showing him even meant." - quick guys, let's find a way to fix or bury those numbers we showed him!

That would be the problem for me if I was an investor. What other types of liabilities does this firm have? They seem to have management that is unable to control themselves how can I be sure this is a isolated case and not standard operating procedure?
