Nardone wanted to put up tents in the office so that staff could work longer hours. When Fling's COO told him that this might be a violation of UK employment law, there was a heated debate in a boardroom that ended up with a baguette being thrown at Nardone's father.

Enjoy.

Not about Italians -- more about spoiled rich kids who think they know everything and that the world owes them the lifestyle to which they would like to become accustomed. Nardone happens to be Italian, but there are others.

And you have to watch more than one episode of Parks to understand just how E720 is designed to waste money - 'cause you got to spend money to make money, and they're spending it as fast as they can!

No, it doesn't. Aside from morons who waste money are eventually going to run out of their parent's money. Yet another worthless app startup cratered. Sounded like they never had a plan for revenue, and were basically the same as a dozen other more mature platforms.
