Default Facebook, Napster, and Kiteboarding

From Wikipedia about the founder of Napster:

In 2004, Parker began informally advising the creators of Facebook, and became its first president receiving 7% of Facebook's stock when the company became incorporated later that year.[8] He was forced to leave Facebook after being arrested for suspicion of cocaine possession.[4] Parker had signed the rental agreement on the beach-front vacation house during a kite boarding trip to North Carolina where the drugs had been discovered by police arriving at a party with a search warrant following three nights of parties. Prosecutors did not charge him because of lack of evidence. Facebook's biggest investor Jim Breyer of Accel Partners pushed for the ouster.[9]
