The way this VC's own blog hints at how he may have overlooked PayPay's historically bad reputation. NoScript reports a total of FOURTEEN other websites embedding images, scripts and whatnot into his page; half of which are user trackers of some sort or another. In other words, this guy is socially promiscuous and hasn't had "his heart broken" yet with regards to being scammed or exploited online. (Or, if he has, he's not aware of it yet...)
i've been scammed and exploited online. it's one of the hazards of being online. i run all these scripts because i want to try out a lot of new things. i am adding and taking off stuff all the time.
