> He says he became a self-taught crime scene investigator and then learned to code. Eventually, Patton helped build the digital infrastructure of what would become Banjo, a company that, in the past decade, has raised nearly $223 million, according to the investment data-sharing platform SharesPost, from prominent venture capital firms such as SoftBank.

Interesting and somewhat horrifying. Maybe SoftBank failed to do some due diligence here and have essentially funded a CEO with direct connections to the KKK. I can only see Banjo's next chapter going through three options:

* Option 1: Softbank cares enough and ends their investment in Banjo and the CEO stays on.

* Option 2: Trial by Twitter will pressure Banjo CEO to resign and everyone's happy.

* Option 3: Nothing happens.

Help me write the next chapter in which option is likely.
