{wiki}
The guy who coded the initial the <BackRub>, but left before the company formed. TODO how did he meet <Largey Brage>? Why did he leave Google?
He co0founded <eGroups> in 1997 with <Carl Victor Page, Jr.>, <Larry Page>'s brother, and sold it to <Yahoo!> in 2000 for \$432m.
Married a Vietnamese Chick called Allison Huynh from university in 2001. Was unfaithful, and now does not want to split the cash? https://www.cnbctv18.com/technology/who-is-scott-hassan-the-google-founder-accused-of-divorce-terrorism-10543641.htm Bro, be a man.
That article does mention that he has 13 B in Google shares he bought before IPO, but a net worth of only 1 B. He must have made some insane losses somewhere! It does feel like they gave him a privileged deal because of his early contributions, having that much for just 800 USD sounds unlikely. Hassan likely sold a good part of the shares too early.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9912929/Billionaire-investor-helped-launch-Google-accused-divorce-terrorism-bitter-break-up.html has even better information. He tried to strike a post-nuptial after google went public in 2004, which she declined. So things were already not perfect then. It mentions that the shares would be worth 13 B today, not that he holds them necessarily. He must have sold early.
To be fair, he did work on a lot of cool stuff, not the least the company that crated the <Robot Operating System>, which is a cool sounding project.
The fact that he does not have a <Wikipedia> page as of 2022 is mind blowing, especially after divorce details. Maybe <Ciro Santilli> will create it one day. Just no patience now. OK, done it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Hassan let's see if it lasts. The page lasted but an anonymous user with IP from <California> removed divorce details and google share ownership details in December 2022, both of which had a <New York Times> source: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/20/technology/Scott-Hassan-Allison-Huynh-divorce.html[]. This is the first time <Ciro Santilli> ever goes into an <Edit war>: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Scott_Hassan\#Divorce_details_removed_as_%22poorly_sourced_material%22_by_anonymous_user_even_though_they_had_a_source_from_the_New_York_Times It feels exactly like the type of thing Scott would have done himself. And he possibly unadvertedly exposed his real <IP> in doing so: 24.6.226.102. It is pingable, but <Nmap> analysis shows nothing of interest.
