Michael Goguen, Reportedly Had Spreadsheet of 5,000 Women He Had Sex With
Michael Goguen, a 57-year-old billionaire and longtime partner
at Sequoia Capital, is being sued by four former employees for roughly $800
million in damages, according to the New York Post. And with the suit, he’s
being accused of having a spreadsheet of 5,000 women that he had sex with.
The allegations reportedly come after a previous settlement
of $40 million with a woman who claims he “sexually, physically, and
emotionally” abused her—which his attorney called a “vile collection of lies.”
Documents reported by the Post now show him being accused of controling local
law enforcement in the town of Whitefish, Montana, owning several “safe houses”
where he takes young women to have sex, and placing a “boom boom” room in a bar
that he owns to “maintain women for the purpose of committing illicit sexual
activity.”
Goguen’s lawyer did not respond to the publication’s request
for comment Friday.
The four people who filed the suit helped set up Goguen’s
security contractor Amyntor Group LLC, with the lead plantiff being Matthew
Marshall, who the Post says allegedly helped purchase “luxury homes and
vehicles for members of his harem,” while spying on and “intimidating his
enemies.”
“Marshall was being asked to purchase, out of his personal
accounts, vehicles, jewelry, earnest money deposits on properties, and to
provide cash or other items for Goguen’s mistresses, or as hush-money payoffs
to Goguen’s acquaintances and employees who had ‘learned too much’ about
Goguen’s sexual misconduct and crimes, and the Goguen Sexual Scheme,” court
papers allegedly revealed.
Documents reportedly claim that Goguen had set up a way to
listen to police communications. Women who tired to complain about his alleged
sexual assaults were met with difficulty from Flathead County Sheriff’s
Department. One investigation regarding a sexual assault was allegedly stopped
after Goguen met with an officer who was told to take it to the FBI by
Marshall, The Post shares.
“[Detective Shane Erickson] openly shared with Marshall the
fact that he was spending time with Goguen, including having dinner at his
house, spending time on Whitefish Lake, going on a coyote hunt,” court papers
say. “Erickson also informed Marshall that Goguen had offered to take him on
his yearly week-long $20,000 elk hunt in Colorado with private guides.”
The woman later reportedly recanted her story after signing
a non-disparagement with Goguen. In another accusation, he is alleged to have
placed a woman “and her children in a position of utter dependence based on
false promises and emotional manipulation to satisfy his sexual appetite,”
giving her a credit card and buying her a five-bedroom home after a divorce.
Marshall reportedly claims he’s had to “dissuade Goguen from
going to extreme measures against his enemies” after he asked to arrange a
man’s murder in a wikr—an instant messaging platform. Marshall accepted a plea
agreement on Nov. 10 on wire fraud, tax evasion and “conning Goguen out of millions
of dollars.”
“This man has to be stopped,” said retired Whitefish police
chief Bill Dial, who sued Goguen in 2019 for alleged interference in his
investigation, per the Post. “He’s a billionaire a la Harvey Weinstein and
Epstien. There’s a lot of people in this community who know what he’s about and
they’re afraid of him.”
