[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mom is a white Tiger mom? Coached DD how to land big paycheck DH like her DH?[/quote]

Joe Lonsdale is worth a heck of a lot more than a Vienna anesthesiologist. [/quote]

Bigger stakes these days. Read that a lot of Tiger moms wanted more than the run of the mill lawyer, doctor, IB DH for their DDs after Zuckerberg married his Asian GF.[/quote]

Ellie got her pay off, but I guess she wants more ...[/quote]

And what payoff did she get from this fiasco? She wasn't paid off and now her name has been dragged through the mud in a NY times magazine article. Doesn't seem worth it to me. [/quote]

She's a lunatic. Who knows what motivates here. One needs a PHD to crack that nut.[/quote]

So they likely drafted a complaint and hoped to extract a big settlement.  Lonsdale then probably said no, so they went ahead and filed thinking she'd be viewed as a sympathetic victim.  Bad news was that, after the phony UVA story, reporters are more likely to be skeptical of claims like hers (yep, thanks Jackie) and Lonsdale, like a good gazillionaire with a CYA mentality, kept a treasure trove of past correspondence from Ellie and her mom that are largely inconsistent with the allegations.

Net result is he looks like a horny frat-boy with a case of arrested development who was more than happy to hit on younger women, she looks like another damaged young woman with serious mental problems making false accusations, the mom looks like a caricature of an overly ambitious, money-grubbing helicopter mom, and the dad is completely AWOL.  He moves on, and they become objects of derision.  Not a very good outcome, considering they are smart and privileged and didn't need his money to be successful.  [/quote]
