I'm guessing the top 10 super angels would include Marc Andreessen, Chris Dixon, Ron Conway and the PayPal guys Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Max Levchin, Keith Rabois
The Quora list is very different from yours. And I think we should all be really careful about guessing, considering how much damage you could do to someone's reputation by guessing wrongly. There's at least one person on your list above who I'd be surprised to see part of this.
Vide the cognitive psychology experiments which show that once you mention a person's name, it gets connected in memory regardless of how doubtful the source ought to be, etcetera.
Thiel seems like a clear thinker, but almost anybody can gradually drift in the wrong direction--especially if, as grellas says above, it probably wasn't quite illegal.
My list was complete guessing, just me thinking of famous angels. The Quora list seems to be based on more actual evidence.
In any case, it was Arrington that fingered all these people when he called them the "10 or so highest profile angels" who do "nearly 100% of early stage startup deals in Silicon Valley". Though after seeing Quora's list I think Arrington mischaracterized the group.
