Drama: Zynga Founder Mark Pincus Gets TRO On Old Tribe.net Colleague

August 10, 2009 ·Filed Under Technology News

Something dramatic is going on amidst Zynga CEO Mark Pincus and one of his old employees at Tribe.net, a company he cofounded in 2003. Pincus has obtained a temporary restraining order on Darren McKeeman, previously the IT Director at Tribe. Cisco acquired the company in 2007.

Pincus hasn’t returned a inquiry for comment, but the TRO was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco.

McKeeman is prohibited from contacting Pincus at all, and must stay at least 50 yards away from him. He is additionally explicitly prohibited from any of the following to Pincus: “harass, attack, strike, threaten, assault (sexually or

otherwise), hit, follow, stalk, destroy personal property, keep under surveillance or block movements.” He is additionally restricted from purchasing guns or other firearms, and must sell or turn in any guns that he owns.

McKeeman’s only response so far: “Note to everyone: don’t lie in things you file in court! It will come back to haunt you! I’m quite happy these morons did lie, though.”

Someone pass the popcorn.
