You\u2019ve probably seen posts from Dan Price, a Seattle-based tech CEO who regularly goes viral for his activism-tinged posts about treating employees well<\/a>, politics, and how he\u2019s not like other guys when it comes to his leadership style.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn actual good CEO would never do layoffs ever,\u201d reads one. \u201cA male president was so angry he lost that he incited a mob against the U.S. Capitol. I never want to hear again that women would be \u2018too emotional\u2019 to be president,\u201d goes another.<\/p>\n

But for years, Price used the progressive good boss persona he cultivated online to allegedly lure, assault, and abuse women, according to a detailed investigation by The<\/em> New York Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> Price, who was the head of Gravity Payments, resigned as CEO on Wednesday, the day before the Times <\/em>story was published.<\/p>\n

This is far from the first time allegations of Price\u2019s behavior have been made public \u2014 it\u2019s happened several times before, and in each case, Price was able to resume building his brand as a \u201cbest boss in America.\u201d After Price got scores of good press in 2015 for raising his employees\u2019 minimum pay to $70,000, a Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> report<\/a> \u2014 written by Karen Weise, who also wrote the Times <\/em>piece \u2014 detailed the holes in his story. It also noted that his ex-wife had accused him of domestic violence in a TEDx talk that the public never saw. The Times <\/em>writes:<\/p>\n

\n

Mr. Price said those incidents \u201cnever happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video was never made public. Mr. Pirkle said that at Mr. Price\u2019s direction, he contacted the University of Kentucky, which hosted the TEDx talk, saying the presentation could be defamatory<\/a>. The university said<\/a> it \u201csimply decided not to post\u201d the video. Mr. Price denied that he directed Mr. Pirkle to contact the university. Mr. Pirkle said he deeply regretted his role in preventing the video from becoming public.<\/p>\n

When the Bloomberg Businessweek article ran in December 2015, the reaction was swift. Mr. Price lost a $500,000 book contract and the Hollywood talent agency WME dropped him.<\/p>\n

Just as fast as he had risen, he was gone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Times <\/em>story lays out Price\u2019s reemergence around 2019, fueled again by good press<\/a>, dubious stunts<\/a> at Gravity, a short collective memory \u2014 and, of course, his shameless ability to keep posting through it. <\/p>\n

The Times <\/em>says <\/em>that \u201cthe image fueling his clout, and that attracted his female followers, was a mirage,\u201d based on interviews with more than two dozen former employees. Perhaps unsurprisingly, someone else was behind the carefully constructed social media version of Price. He apparently enlisted a ghostwriter to write his posts, who himself had earlier resigned<\/a> from a job over accusations of sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

Fair warning, the Times <\/em>story includes detailed accounts of sexual assault and abuse. Read the full investigation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
