Do you have a source? I admit mine aren't for sure free of bias, but I'm pretty confident X.com, the online banking company, was actually his.
PayPal (the service) wasn't, and it was eventually so important that they renamed the company after the service, so he's not doing great here, but he wasn't completely devoid of good ideas.
I wonder what happened to that, because he certainly is devoid of ideas now.
Okay so a cursory reading of Wikipedia (yeah I know, not the most credible) shows that you are correct about him being one of the key players in starting the online bank X.com with Peter Thiel and crew.
I concede that point! My apologies for casting aspersions.
