Keith Rabois Resurfaces at Silicon Valley VC Firm

I blogged on February 11th about how Silicon Valley looks the other way when one of its anointed wizards violates ethical, legal, or moral boundaries. The case noted in my post involved allegations of sexual harassment levied against Square's now-former COO Keith Rabois. He happens to have been among the early key employees and investors in PayPal and LinkedIn. That status gives him entree into just about anywhere in the Valley.

Rabois played his cards well. According to a story by the fine journalist Peter Delevett in today's siliconvalley.com, Rabois has just joined Khosla Ventures, one of Silicon Valley's premier venture capital operations. While Valley hotshots have made it a point to praise the move, not one has uttered a syllable about the circumstances that led Rabois to look for a new job. The rules apparently don't apply to the stars, at least not in star-struck Silicon Valley.
