After VC Firm’s Harassment Scandal, Binary Co-Founder Gets Sued Via Tweet
Binary Capital co-founder Jonathan Teo was served with a lawsuit through Twitter.
Jonathan Teo, a founder of a venture capital firm accused of fostering a toxic environment for women in Silicon Valley, allegedly evaded a summons for months in a lawsuit related to his company’s scandals. But on Friday, the plaintiff’s lawyer finally caught up with him—on Twitter.
Chris Baker of Baker Curtis & Schwartz PC represents former Binary Capital principal Ann Lai in a lawsuit claiming she experienced harassment and defamation connected to her tenure at the firm. Late last month, Baker got permission from a judge in San Mateo County, California, to serve Teo with a lawsuit via his Twitter account, @jonteo, as well as in the Daily Journal, a legal newspaper.
