61 Chinese IT Entrepreneurs Team Up Against Citron
Information Times, 9/05/12
A group of 61 Chinese IT entrepreneurs including current and former Google and Microsoft executives led by Kai-fu Lee, chairman and CEO of Beijing-based incubator Innovation Works, has established the website Citronfraud.com, arguing that Citron's modus operandi is to select legal corporations with only minor or no issues as attack targets, and make false allegations that cannot be verified by its US readership.
In response, Citron founder Andrew Left said that criticisms leveled at himself by the group amounted to a "personal jihad."
The petition signed by the 61 entrepreneurs was partly in reaction to Citron's allegations of fraud by Chinese Internet firm Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU), and Qihoo 360 CEO Zhou Hongyi was among the signatories.
