seems like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25235843 was right. Of course his comment got flagged and no one believed him (except me I suppose) |
He had developed a severe drug addiction to ketamine and nitrous oxide. He completely lost touch with reality. Ended up killing himself in an explosion/fire that he caused himself. The reason he "retired" from Zappos was due to the aforementioned drug addiction and was not voluntary.
