As recently as two days ago I finished reading Porter Erisman&#x27;s &quot;Alibaba&#x27;s World&quot; in which he described his and Alibaba&#x27;s run in with both Meg Whitman and Henry Gomez, who were then working on eBay China. What I read Erisman describe as his bitter experiences with Gomez then, and I read described in the article today, came as no surprise to me really.
