Heres Pandos formal legal response toMarty Mad Dog Singers
attempt to shutdown our reportingBY SARAH LACY AND PAUL CARR ON MAY
13, 2014
Late last month, Pando received a legal threat from Marty Mad
Dog Singer, anentertainment lawyer acting for New Jersey based
Chatham Asset Management and thefirms principal, Anthony
Melchiorre.
The letter came in response to a series of stories by David
Sirota examining proposedcontracts for the handling of New Jersey
public pension funds. As we reported at the time,one of the firms
mentioned in the series Chatham Asset Management threatened to
sueSirota, and Pando, over our investigation, even before we had
published our storymentioning them.
In keeping with our policy of publishing all legal threats we
receive, we shared Singers letterhere.

Today our attorney, Roger Myers whose many previous legal
victories include successfullybringing Wikileaks back online after
a Swiss bank attempted to shut it down sent Pandosformal response
to the legal threat. That response is embedded in full below.
TL;DR version: We continue to stand by our reporting. Pandos
investigation into GovernorChris Christies use of New Jersey public
pension money continues.

Fred Wilson on Uber: Values and culture matter
If the Uber mess over the past few days tells us anything, it is
that values and culture matter more thananything. They seep into
the product, the user experience, the brand, and ultimately define
the company inthe market. And all of this comes from the top.
