    He paid some people to pretend he’s the founder, then used that title to build a reputation of being genius and what not. And he’s been getting rich off of investor capitol ever since.

    I don’t know which company he did and didn’t start himself. But I know he definitely didn’t write the code behind ebay or paypal

      His first venture was a business directory on the internet (ie. The yellow pages, but online). No idea if he or this brother actually wrote any code for it, or if they hired someone. Wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t do any actual work for that project either.
