I don't know how this story missed the cover of Business 2.0, but we lost a great, young "entrepreneur" in February 2004. His name was Larmondo "Flair" Allen, and at least one local New Orleans paper had the decency to report the tragic demise of this ahead-of-his time genius.
What kind of business was he in? I'm not sure. But he did fuck a lot.
Gunshot wounds took the life of Larmondo at the tender age of 25 I'm guessing his business wasn't online media, because I don't remember any bullets flying around my offices during the advent of Al Gore's Internet but his legacy will be carried on by his nine children. I'm sure he prepared them well for life ahead.
