Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

claiming to have customers you don't actually have so vocally that they have to sue you to get their names out of your mouth should be a death knell on its own, but the whole "pretending their already-expired three-month trial contract is still in effect for the full year" is a great way to find yourself pulling a Sam Bankman-Fried, except that you don't have a side company to pull $$$ from to cover your tracks

The investors read "11x, the company's, revenue is 10 million" but what they missed was that the correct reading was "11 x [the company's revenue] is 10 million", so the actual revenue is less than a million. Easy mistake to make! Better luck next time investors!
