An explosive breach of contract lawsuit against former Sequoia Capital partner Michael Goguen has been dismissed

The defendant: longtime VC Michael Goguen, who'd spent 20 years with Sequoia Capital in Menlo Park, Calif. The plaintiff: Amber Baptiste, a former intimate who described him through the filing as a "worse predator than the human traffickers." She said in the filing that she would know, having become a “victim of human trafficking" at age 15 when she was “brought to America in 2001,” then “sold as a dancer to a strip club” in Texas, which is where she says she first encountered Goguen. What she wanted from the lawsuit was money that she said was owed to her by Goguen: $40 million over four installments that the lawsuit stated was for "compensation for the sexual abuse and [a sexual] infection she contracted from him.” According to her suit, Goguen agreed to these terms, paying Baptiste a first installment of $10 million before refusing to make further payments.
