I would guess that they just paid off the investors. It was only $1.7m and Google Ventures was one of the investors anyway.


Well they would still need to have seen the returns they expected (or were happy with) since the money did not come out of the funds just to get "Put back" without any upside. Speculation: 3-4 million payoff Google "we don't need the company just shut it down and come to work"


TechCrunch is reporting that Google paid $15-30m for it.
