Peter Thiel lost ten dollars in a poker game at Facebook and asked for his money back. Boz, now Facebook's CTO, refused. The irony: Thiel had a half-million-dollar McLaren parked outside.
What did you think about meeting Peter Thiel? I met him when I worked at Facebook. I still remember this story. He like bought into our poker game and then he had to go meet with Zuck and he lost. And then he's like, hey, can I get my money back? And then Boz, who's now like the CTO, was like, fuck no. How much was the buy-in? Like $10. And he asked for it back. I was like, what are you doing, dude? Like, and then the funny thing about— I go outside and his like half a million dollar McLaren is sitting outside. I was like, all right. Do you remind him of that story when you were with him recently? I don't think he remembers me.
