If there would ever be an Oscar for bad luck, 29-year-old Chris Hill-Scott would easily make it to the nominations and may perhaps win it. It's not wrong to say that Chris missed a fortune, sadly - when he was too close to it. Chris was one of the three founders of a start up that built predictive keyboard software SwiftKey. But when he grew tired of the venture due to long working hours, he quit and bought a bicycle from the money he got after selling his stake in 2008, a report in The Sun says. But on Wednesday, Chris received a shock of his life - tech giant Microsoft had agreed to buy the company SwiftKey for a whopping £174 million. The company's two owners - Reynolds and Medlock - both friends of Chris, made more than £25 million each from the sale. Chris, who now works as a web developer in the British government, described the decision to leave as "the biggest mistake I ever made" on Twitter. After that he changed privacy settings of his Twitter handle.
