So, you might have heard about Mr Whatley because of his amazing NDA writing skills. I just found out on the social business network that he’s actually been CouchSurfing’s Chief Financial Officer since April 2006. Note that this must have been updated fairly recently, with “over 200,000 members and growing strong”. Note that there is no mention of a Chief Financial Officer on CouchSurfing.com.

He has been asked to remove this information. It is not TRUE. It is something that he assumed was true, but that was never confirmed with CouchSurfing. – Chris
That’s odd. Especially considering he has put (and removed) “I sit on the Board of Directors of Couchsurfing. Occupation International Attorney at Law.” on his CS profile before, quite a while before this indicident. This was deleted as well when it was discovered. Isn’t Matt CS’s “official” lawyer? Shouldn’t he know better then?
And for that matter, who exactly *is* going to be on the CS Board of Directors?
Chris Burley It is not TRUE. It is something that he assumed was true,??
In chat when the NDA was being created
whatley88: It looks like I’m the official CS lawyer now and I’m the Chief Financial Officer on the Board of Directors
Why would some one post couchsurfing as his client on his site taxninja.com if they were not his client ?
