Had this link sent to me, and at first, I couldn’t understand what it was about, then I saw Munjal Shah’s name, and found comments from his former employees.

Seems that he’s now going to try to burn down http://www.ojos-inc.com/, some kind of image recognition software.
Munjal screwed up Andale.ocm during his “Freedom to sell release” which occured on 7/4/2003? or 2002? In many opinions, he never did quite fix it. He left in May, 2004, and took some curry with him.
There are also familiar complaints about Munjal on this blog, from ex-auctionworks employees (?), and others.
Including this one, haven’t heard of this:
same CEO who got fired for misappropriation of funds in his own founded company – Andale? Dude, u be careful whom you are working with. That guy cannot be trusted.
Here’s Munjal’s own web page, created no doubt, by himself.

Any venture that Munjal starts eventually goes bust but not before he pockets and walks away with all the funding money he raises from the VCs and customers. Munjal and his wife were fired from Andale for misappropriation of funds. He raised millions of $ for Riya.com. Google pulled out of the talks of the sale of Riya.com after they realized that Munjal is a trickster. Riya.com went bust in a few years. Munjal walked away with the money. Same fate awaits Like.com. Recently, he reduced the staff of Like.com to half. Very soon the company will shut down. Munjal will be back in the market hunting for his next victim.
