ThoughtWorks has been sold to private equity
The funniest thing about this whole transaction is that Neville Roy Singham always talked a big game about socialism, Hugo Chavez, central planning, etc.<p>He's all about the government redistributing wealth.  But when it comes to his own wealth, instead of gifting the company to the workers who built it, he has all kinds of excuses for why it needed to be sold to a private equity company.<p>It doesn't surprise me one bit.  What individuals won't do voluntarily themselves, they want the state to force others to do.<p>Neville isn't offering to give a dividend distributing the sales profit to all his workers.  No no no ... he's going to use it himself for his charitable works.  Much like Hugo Chavez's succesor in Venezuela, Maduro, takes all the resources of the country on the "behalf of the people" and distributes it himself.  I'm sure the prestige and power associated with being the distributor is not a motivating factor at all.
