Their wikipedia page[1] appears to have been edited by the founder too. (In which the company is described as a "multinational").

To be fair, self-editing your own wikipedia entry with exaggerated terminology as an early stage startup is highly understandable in the grand scheme of things. Self-editing your own PhD credentials seems to be a step or two beyond that kind of behavior, haha :)

This part from their wikipedia entry isn't that understandable. Maybe some reference I'm too old to catch?

"Livecoding.tv was founded by Jamie Green & Underscore Pete in 2014"

I dunno, a google search for "underscore pete" yielded this page as the top hit: http://underscorepete.xyz/post/article/dick-stream

The page is something about "The dick based streaming platform you never knew you needed", with the singular statement: "Dicks, dicks everywhere".

Seems pretty appropriate to this whole mess if you ask me!

For what it's worth this seems to be some unrelated vandalism from September 1st

That page needs a Controversies section.
