Annie Altman accused her brother of sexually abusing and raping her between 1997 and 2006 at the family home in suburban Clayton, Missouri, starting when she was three and he ​was 12. She said the "last acts of sexual abuse and rape" occurred ​when Sam Altman was an adult. He is now 40.

They always go for the kids dont they. I dont know how credible this Annie Altman is, the family says she is mentally ill. But they would say that, wouldnt they.

So Aaron Schwartz was right not to trust Sam.

Also, isn't this old news? His sister filed a lawsuit last year against him.

There was an update on the case:

In a Wednesday night filing in St. Louis federal court, Sam Altman said Missouri's child sexual abuse statute, opens new tab does not authorize punitive damages for Annie Altman's claims, and instead limits ​her to "damages for injury or illness" caused by childhood sexual abuse.

Looks like he will get away with it. Surprise surprise. I mean sure, I cant know for sure if this guy did it. But judging by his personality, I think he is exactly the kind of guy who would.

But judging by his personality

Which red flags in particular?

Constant pathological lying stands out for me.

Being an untrustworthy huxter just makes him an unreliable witness.

Lust for power is a better indicator. Does he have a history or trying to control people?

He lies about shit that doesn’t matter too though. He really can’t help it and it’s a definite red flag.
