Sounds legit.
Seems both sides of the story are a bit shady. He claims they were strong arming him out of his company and forced him to sell off all his shares. He then resigned and shortly after claimed it was a April fools joke and now a few weeks later he was officially let go because he didn't dot the i's and cross the t's and they used it to remove him from CEO position.

The guy essentially ripped off facebook by making a "Russian" version that looked nearly identical. No real innovation or ideas he even copied FB's layout.

I say fuck him as he was a thief anyway, so serves him right to have his company taken out from under him.
