The current valuation for Stripe, based out of San Francisco, runs over $9 billion, with Collison now estimated to be with some $1.1 billion himself.

Hey Milo there's a reason why your message of hate, bigotry and intolerance isn't broadcasted: nobody wants to hear it! Go and crawl back under the troll bridge from which you came.
