艰苦朴素一张流之PayPal Mafia

话说阿里巴巴有十八罗汉 -- 哈哈，原来不是四十大盗。

阿里巴巴还有一大看家宝 -- 支付宝。

支付宝，我怎么就老是觉得是山寨版的PayPal？

严正声明：山寨在我不是贬义词。山寨怎么啦？自古山寨出英雄。本人从小仰慕的水泊梁山一百零八好汉就全是山寨英雄。再说啦，阿里巴巴可是超越了Ariba不知多少个数量级。

言归正传，从头再来...... 且说阿里巴巴支付宝有首富马云和十八罗汉，大洋彼岸的PayPal也有帮主Peter Thiel和十八大魔。人家又有个洋名，唤作PayPal Mafia。

说得好听点，PayPal这个黑帮一直被美其名曰公司（许多黑帮都叫公司，许多公司其实都是黑帮），这些大魔就是公司的前雇员。

这个黑帮的众成员中，最为本坛诸好汉所熟知的大概是特斯拉魔Elon Musk，此处不再细表。

据洋文维基百科记载，这个黑帮的帮主及十八名主要成员名单及其累累恶行斑斑劣迹如下：

Jawed Karim, former PayPal engineer who co-foundedYouTube

Chad Hurley, former PayPal web designer who co-foundedYouTube

好吧，一张流的时刻终于到了。最后是一张流合影，照片里一共十三人，其中Andrew McCormack不在维基名单里，属于漏网之鱼，但此人的确是此黑手党得力干将之一，有此一张流为证。
