I do wonder about the details of his life. Can't find info on his father, only his mother who is described as a dermatologist, which is interesting. Was anyone in his family well-connected in the tech industry?

If his mother was regularly employed as a specialist then the family being high income is a given. Sam posted on Twitter that he received a Macintosh from "my parents" when he was 8 in the early 90s, another sign of high income.

Getting into Stanford and making connections there is certainly plausible, but dropping out and getting funding for Loopt in such short order also raises question marks.
