Ray brings new meaning to the terms "no holds barred" and "all is fair in love and war." This guy will do anything to win, literally anything. Forget about ethics: he'll slander people in the media, steal intellectual property, take meetings under false pretenses, yank term sheets, invest in competing companies, etc. It may be a game to him, but real people get hurt with this type of behavior and industries face setbacks.

If that were not enough, some limited partners have whispered that his investments at KP have returned zero.

To be within this Ray's sphere of influence in business as either a friend or a foe is dangerous. If you get a meeting at KP and Ruthless Ray shows up, I would recommend that you walk out. You don't need the headache, and entrepreneurs should not support destructive behavior in any investor.
