Soham Parekh is all the rage on Twitter right now with a bunch of startups coming out of the woodwork saying they either had currently employed him or had in the past.

Serious question: why aren't so many startups hiring processes filtering out a candidate who is scamming/working multiple jobs?

This guy, and guys like him, are the reason why it's such a pain to do legit business in the modern world.

Try getting a code signing certificate, opening a bank account for a new business or listing an app on the App Store. You'll quickly see the effects of this kind of behavior.

This guy should be absolutely ostracized.

[Edit: not to mention the countless brilliant Indian software devs for whom he just directly put Silicon Valley out of reach.]

But it's funny. And people who make you laugh, even if naughty, get a pass.
