Blognation Finale

Sam Sethi Shuts Down Blognation

Sam Sethi has thrown in the towel. There’s no place to take Blognation given the reality of zero funding and mounting debt. No bills were paid and the train wreck has run over Sethi. He announced today that he will not continue and steps down from Blognation. The tally of debt is daunting. [...]

Sam Sethi - Scamtones^TM

A triple pack of ScamtonesTM for the final day of LeWeb. If you are enjoying these, please toss $1, 1 euro, 1 pound sterling per ScamtoneTM into the donation account for Marc Orchant.

Sam Sethi, Triumphant Return to LeWeb

Scam Sethi might be dodging the queries of concerned bloggers at LeWeb3, but his badge made an appearance this year. Not the triumphant return that Sethi dreamed of, I’m sure. I’m already a fan of Pat Phelan after meeting him and interviewing him at TechCrunch 40. But now, he’s helped me find another Irishman [...]

Sam Sethi - Blognation Funding Web of Lies

One would need a secret agent decoder ring to untangle the web of lies Scam Sethi has spun across the blogosphere this week.

Farewell Marc O.

Yesterday, one week after collapsing in his home in New Mexico, Marc Orchant succumbed to the damage from his heart attack and passed away. I was just getting to know Marc and am grateful for the conversations that we shared, in particular a long phone call early Saturday morning on December 1st. Like so many [...]

Sam Sethi - Weekend Update

This story just gets crazier and crazier. Scam Sethi has taken number of steps this weekend which defy rationale. Sam privately apologizes to Oliver Starr and promises to pay Marc Orchant’s family along with making public apologies to Blognation’s editors especially to Oliver. Sam lied about having fired Oliver from Blognation two months ago [...]

Sam Sethi and the Blognation Funding Smoking Gun

Finally in his own words, from a voice recording made on June 6, 2007 Sam is clearly heard to say, “Now, I’ve already raised 1 mil pounds and I’m already budgeted for 22 full-time editors.” So, if this is true then why is no one paid? If this is not true, then why [...]

Sam Sethi and the Robert Scoble Smoking Gun

An exchange on Robert Scoble’s blog regarding Blognation continues to demonstrate Sam’s difficulty with speaking the plain truth. [...]

Sam Sethi and the Smoking Guns

Poor Sam. The amount of documentation that exists on Sam’s deceit is staggering and readers will see and hear some of this evidence published over the coming days. I’ve learned today that a voice recording exists of Sam telling a prospective Blognation editor on June 6, 2007 that he “has already raised 1 mil GBP” [...]
