Valleywag
The backstory: Valley bad boy Sean Parker, forgotten founder of Napster, Plaxo and Facebook, is the subject of rumors which get more lurid with every retelling. In particular: the circumstances of Parker's removal in 2004 from Plaxo, the online address book backed by Mike Moritz of Sequoia Capital, which was particularly abrupt and mysterious. Valleywag asks the burning question, about the drugs, after the jump.
Valleywag: So, what's all this about the arrest? Look, I couldn't care less about a coke offense. I was thinking a light tease about you carrying in North Carolina, of all places. You know, pander to prejudice about rednecks, etc.
Sean Parker: I will say, for the record: I was at no point apprehended "carrying" cocaine (or with cocaine in my possession/vehicle), indicted of any crimes related to cocaine, nor convicted of any crimes related to cocaine. There is, however, a mistake...or shall we say a misunderstanding (of the highest order) which underlies this particular pernicious rumor...Apart from clarifying the hard facts of the situation (as I have done) I would prefer not to delve into the specific circumstances as they would implicate others who have an expectation of privacy.

Gak, NOT being snorted from the buttocks of a nubile teen? Oh whatever.
This is like The A List, but all 4th grade and giggly.
Yeah, although there's probably a bit more to the story, the misadventures of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are usually pretty tame.
Everyone *knows* that's not true, we've all got the bodypaint'n'leather pictures from Burning Man that proves otherwise.
Like, tell us more about Sergey 's nights at Xenii.
Fave it, the misadventures ARE tame. Burning Man is a giant circle jerk for the past 10 years. It's the Oregon Country Fair for aging hipsters.
Why didn't he deny getting arrested?
