Giammatteo source
[edit]This claim:
- for one year before dropping out initially to support his family by working at a bank
is cited to "Uneducated" by Giacomo Giammatteo. I looked it up, and it's literally a one-liner in a long list at the end of the book. Here's the complete information on Marcus:
- David Marcus, founder of mobile payment company Zong, CEO of PayPal. He dropped out of the University of Geneva to work at a bank to help support his family.
There's no sourcing information, no detail, no provenance for this information. Is there any better source for the claim? - David Gerard (talk) 12:02, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- OK, this might be better, at least it's Marcus saying it - David Gerard (talk) 20:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
