Goguen won a countersuit in the three-year legal battle, eventually securing a restraining order against Baptiste from filing any similar suits against him. In 2012 Baptiste said, she underwent surgery for a ruptured anal canal after Goguen “forcibly sodomized her and left her bleeding and alone on the floor of a hotel room in a foreign country,” court papers claimed. He also demanded that she refer to him as “king” and “emperor,” according to the filings. He had gotten a share of the Google deal and, as Bloomberg reported, “frequently appeared on the Forbes Midas List for his ability to find and fund winning technologies.”īut things came to a crashing halt in 2016 when his former mistress Amber Baptiste, an exotic dancer from Canada, accused him of “constant sexual abuse,” including “countless hours of forced sodomy,” court papers say. It was already known for taking smart early bets on companies, including Apple and Cisco, and would later generate big buzz - and money - for getting behind brands that would become enormous: Google, YouTube, PayPal and Instagram among them. Originally from Bedford, Mass., Goguen joined the venture investment firm Sequoia Capital, based in Menlo Park, Calif., in 1996. Now, Goguen is wrapped up in a mystery that just keeps getting messier, as person after person has apparently tried to take him down - only to end up taken down themselves. The complaint, which seeks more than $800 million in damages, was filed by four former employees who set up Goguen’s Amyntor Group LLC, a Whitefish-based security contractor that had clients around the world. Goguen is also accused in the complaint of keeping a spreadsheet of his sex encounters with 5,000 women. Requests for comment from Goguen’s lawyer were not returned Friday. The underground enclave is allegedly used “to maintain women for the purpose of committing illicit sexual activity.” He has a spreadsheet documenting his sexual encounters with 5,000 women, and even outfitted a local bar he owns with a basement “boom boom” room, which features a stripper pole.
REDDIT MIDAS CIVIL SERIES
The bombshell allegations, which also include claims of Goguen ordering his security chief to kill detractors, are contained in a lengthy civil complaint recently filed in United States District Court for the District of Montana.Īccording to the court papers, Goguen, 57, employs hundreds of residents in companies he controls, and owns a series of luxury “safe houses” where he takes dozens of young women for sex.
But after Silicon Valley billionaire Michael Goguen took up residence in the Rocky Mountain town several years ago, he transformed it into his private fiefdom: a dark banana republic where he allegedly controls local law enforcement - and a “harem” of young women. Whitefish, Mont., is known for fly fishing and hiking trails studded with yellow Aspen trees.
