Karmaloop sale approved, CEO Selkoe to be replaced

In the end, Kanye West didn’t swoop in to buy online retailer Karmaloop Inc. and founder Greg Selkoe is on his way out as the bankrupt company’s chief executive.

A federal bankruptcy court judge Thursday approved the $13 million sale of the Boston-based online streetwear retailer to a group of senior lenders. The sale marks the end of Selkoe’s leadership at Karmaloop, a company he founded in the basement of his parents’ Jamaica Plain home in 1999.

As recently as this spring, Selkoe said he would keep his job as chief executive of the company and hinted that West was in talks to buy Karmaloop.

But the new owners, Comvest Capital of West Palm Beach, Fla., and Chicago-based CapX Partners, were the only group to submit an offer to buy Karmaloop in a bankruptcy auction process. The firms plan to replace Selkoe and install new management at Karmaloop in the coming weeks, according to Robert O’Sullivan, a partner at Comvest Capital.

O’Sullivan said Selkoe will remain involved with the company in an advisory role. Selkoe said he was “excited about the new capital coming into the business as well as my new role.”

The firms will continue to operate Karmaloop in the US and Europe, as well as the company’s Kazbah marketplace and PLNDR website, O’Sullivan said. The business will remain headquartered in Boston.

“This is a new chapter in the Karmaloop story,” O’Sullivan said. “We’ll be a debt-free business, have a new owner and the ability to put more capital into the business. We’re excited about the brand and we’re excited about owning the company.”

Microsoft Is Using Popular App To Spy On You

If you use Facebook, Twitter, or basically any part of the internet at all, sometime in the last 24 hours you’ve seen Microsoft’s newest tool, the age-guesser. Everyone’s sharing it, using it, and laughing over (or feeling insulted by) the results. But the tool’s rapid spread also accidentally highlights one of the biggest challenges of the digital age: the fine print.

The tool, How-Old.net, has gone viral very fast because of how hilariously wrong it often is. The world-weary baby at the top of this post, for example, was 9 months old when the picture was taken, which isn’t too far off — but the Cheerios on her tray were neither sixteen, male, nor in fact human at all. Plug in fictional characters or politicians, and the results are jokes that basically write themselves.

Microsoft isn’t planning to make age guessing a fixture of its Office Suite anytime soon; the tool was put together quickly as a demo for the company’s Azure cloud platform and services. But buried in the fine print of the Azure terms and services, as Fast Company points out, is a clause that might give Microsoft more power than you want them to have."

Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree murder in a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40 million contract and a standout career ahead of him.

Hernandez, 25, looked to his right and pursed his lips after the jury forewoman read the verdict. The first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper and amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
