WhatsApp co-founder leaving Facebook

WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum on Monday said that he is leaving Facebook, which bought the smartphone messaging service four years ago for $19 billion.

Koum said in a post on his Facebook page that he is taking time off to pursue interests such as collecting air-cooled porsches, working on cars amd playing ultimate Frisbee.



In a reply to Koum's post, Facebook co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said he would miss working closely with the WhatsApp co-founder.
i'm grateful for everything you've done to help connect the world, and for everything you've taught me, including about encryption and its ability to take power from centralized systems and put it back in people's hands, Zuckerberg said in his written reply.
