Steve Jurvetson yesterday stepped down as a partner with venture capital firm DFJ, over apparent allegations of sexual misconduct. He is the highest profile – and most successful – venture capitalist to leave his job for such reasons, and also will go on leave as a board member with SpaceX and Tesla Motors.

Here's what we've learned so far:

• Jurvetson's name was bandied about this past summer in the aftermath of the Justin Caldbeck situation, with some reporters calling DFJ to inquire. DFJ had not received any internal or external complaints at the time, but hired an outside attorney to investigate. The attorney interviewed DFJ staffers and was given full access to firm emails.
• Last month a former girlfriend of Jurvetson's (yes, he was married) hinted at misconduct via a Facebook post, but declined to elaborate when contacted by reporters (same went for her attorney, except for confirming that her allegations were personal in nature, not professional). As of the middle of last week, she also had declined to be interviewed by the DFJ investigator.
• Through the end of last week, Jurvetson still was a fully-functioning partner at DFJ. Other partners were still unaware of any allegations beyond the aforementioned Facebook post.
• But Jurvetson had been made aware that some other allegations were soon to become public (it's unclear how, although my assumption is via a media report that has still yet to materialize). A mutual decision was made over the weekend for him to leave DFJ, with limited partners informed on Monday morning.
• Jurvetson statement: "I am leaving DFJ to focus on personal matters, including taking legal action against those whose false statements have defamed me."
• It makes sense that Jurvetson and DFJ wouldn't want such legal battles to occur while he remains a partner, but it is worth emphasizing that Jurvetson quit to fight defamation that doesn't appear to have actually occurred yet.
• DFJ's statement: "As of today and by mutual agreement, Steve Jurvetson will be leaving DFJ. DFJ's culture has been, and will continue to be, built on the values of respect and integrity in all of our interactions. We are focused on the success of our portfolio companies, as well as the long-term vision for the firm and will continue to operate with the highest professional standards."
• DFJ's annual meeting of limited partners takes place today. Investors I spoke with expressed support for the remaining team, but there clearly is concern as Jurvetson was considered a forward-thinking superstar investor. Also, because this all came down so quickly, DFJ has not yet worked out what it plans to do with all of Jurvetson's board seats.

• Not next up: Apollo Global Management yesterday promoted Scott Kleinman and James Zelter to the new position of co-presidents. A source close to the firm insists that this is about improving operations rather than succession planning, pointing out that Apollo's founding team is young by industry standards.

• Sigh: Rep. Diane Black (R-TN), chair of the House Budget Committee, this morning was asked on CNBC why the House and Senate tax bills didn't make more substantive changes to how carried interest is treated. Her reply was about how Congress wouldn't want to punish auto dealers, who pay interest on inventory that they carry. Seriously. And she gets a vote.

• New fund alert: Bedrock Capital, a new VC firm led by Geoff Lewis (ex-Founders Fund) and Eric Stromberg (ex-Google), has raised over $118 million for its debut fund, per an SEC filing. Word is that a subsequent close is coming – despite the fund's initial $100 million target – and that the plan is to lead Series A and Series B rounds with a highly-concentrated portfolio strategy.

Roark Capital Group has made an unsolicited offer to buy Minneapolis-based restaurant chain Buffalo Wild Wings (Nasdaq: BWLD) for around $2.3 billion, or over $150 per share. This comes after the company lost a proxy battle with activist investor Mercato Capital Management over the summer, which resulted longtime CEO Sally Smith announcing her retirement.

• Why it's the BFD: Because Roark is widely credited with reviving Arby's, a restaurant brand that had been left for dead. Now it's trying to preempt Buffalo Wild Wings from heading down a similar path of irrelevance.
• Price context: Buffalo Wild Wings shares closed trading yesterday at $117.25, but jumped over 27% in aftermarket trading. Its all-time high was $201.14 in Sept. 2015, and one year ago was trading at over $160 per share. One big problem over the past year was an increase in chicken wing prices, which the company has tried to mitigate by emphasizing boneless wings.
• Are boneless wings actually chicken wings? No.
