Rocketboom Founder: Amanda Congdon Usurped Us

rocketboom_statement.jpg

Andrew Michael Baron, a.k.a Mr. Rocketboom, writes on his dembot blog that former Rocketboomer Amanda Congdon‘s fancy new projects for HBO, ABCNews.com and Amanda Across America were all Rocketboom:

Yes, it is in fact my position that the Amanda Across America, ABC News and HBO projects are all Rocketboom projects that were usurped out of Rocketboom by Amanda when she quit.

And when I say usurped, I don’t just mean a little bit. I spent months working on these projects and relationships. I spent a great deal of legal fees on contracts, etc. — we are talking deep, deep development.

Expect a vloggy response from Congdon’s camp shortly.
