PartyGaming co-founder, and a truly good friend — by the author's own recorded criterion
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
Ruth Parasol is Jonathan Hare's good friend who, with her husband Russ Deleon, co-founded PartyGaming and rode the internet boom to online-poker billions before relocating to Europe. In this record she stands at the far end of a trench-mate's arc: Russ was Evolve's dialing-for-dollars in-house counsel before the empire. The friendship's fuller story is the ask.
Per S-113: she may have been an Evolve investor — the hedge is kept, and she certainly had the money — but the record's real entry is the friendship. Russ Deleon's girlfriend and then wife, and his PartyGaming co-founder; joint vacations with Russ and Tullan up the Italian coast to France, and the standing weekend circuit — Sea Ranch, Mendocino. The author's criterion for a truly good friend is on the record in his own words in S-113, and involves hot tubs.
