Zhu and Zeleny legal dispute On May 13, 2005, WebEx announced that Min Zhu was stepping down as CTO and retiring to China, where he would serve as a "WebEx Fellow."[8] This closely followed the WebEx Second Annual Users Conference, which was disrupted and then canceled because of a demonstration by a former business partner of Zhu's, Michael Zeleny.[9] The protest demonstration occurred amid a spate of lawsuits between the Zhu family, WebEx and Zeleny for various claims, including breach of contract and defamation.[10] In the course of the legal dispute, Zeleny made public online that a complaint for childhood sexual abuse had been made by Zhu's daughter, Zeleny's former domestic and business partner, and alleged that Zhu diverted WebEx assets to settle that complaint. Zhu denied these claims in court records and WebEx sued Zeleny for defamation. Zeleny's claims have since been settled out of court and the WebEx counter-claim dropped.[11] This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...
